Driving licence first-aid course: what Swiss law requires
The Federal Roads Office page about first-aid courses for driving-licence candidates mainly explains who may provide these courses, which certifications are required and which reference documents apply.
What the official page provides
The official page is meant both for driving-licence candidates and for course providers. It brings together information about recognised organisations, the requirements that apply to courses and instructors, certification and recertification procedures, reference standards and fees.
What providers must have
To deliver these courses for driving-licence candidates, a provider must be recognised by the Federal Roads Office. The condition stated on the page is to hold a valid course certificate issued by the SGS certification body, renewed every four years.
What instructors must have
Instructors must also be recognised by the Federal Roads Office. The page states that they need a competence certificate issued by SGS, likewise renewed every four years.
Official documents, standards and lists
The Federal Roads Office publishes on this page the applicable instructions, the list of authorised providers, certification and recertification forms, as well as the relevant regulations and standards. It also refers to a memo on minimum requirements for courses that include an e-learning component.
A specific point about former ResQ levels
The page notes that level 1 as previously offered by the ResQ association no longer exists following its dissolution. It remains recognised for already accredited instructors until the end of the corresponding certificate. The authority also states that it has no legal basis to certify level 1 courses.
