1.1 Introduction
Welcome to the "CPR/AED – General public (4h)" training. In our society, being able to respond effectively in an emergency is a vital skill for every individual. This four-hour session is designed to provide in-depth training in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), adapted specifically to the needs of the general public.
Whether you are a parent, a professional, or simply a citizen concerned about the safety of those around you, this training gives you the skills needed to act quickly and effectively in case of cardiac arrest or respiratory failure. It is particularly recommended for those who frequently interact with at-risk groups, such as children or seniors.

184 — Theoretical instruction, assessments and practice
4.1 Theoretical instruction
It is crucial to complete all assigned readings before progressing. After each section, you must click the "COMPLETED" button. An interactive medical glossary is available: highlighted terms offer an information bubble and a link to a full definition.
19"Explanations" sections — Optional but recommended
204.2 Theoretical assessments
At the end of each module, a multiple-choice quiz must be completed within 60 minutes. Minimum required score: 80%. Up to 10 retakes permitted. A "Need a hint?" button is available during the assessments.
21Intervention after repeated failures
224.3 Practical sessions
Before each practical session, you will be guided in building a CPR manikin using everyday objects. An animated video guides participants through each step of the maneuvers, including hand position. Our automated system monitors the time spent — progress is blocked until the session is fully completed. The FRSQC mobile app is available as a complementary support.
235 — Deadline management
