About the diploma

During the First-Aid-Course the instructor assesses the continuous learning process of each participant.

After having successfully followed the course, the participants receive a diploma issued by the responsible minister. In order to be eligible, participants need to attend the course in its entirety (16 hours) and the instructor must have validated their participation. If one or both criteria are not met, the diploma cannot be awarded.

The diploma is valid for a duration of five years. Approximately one year prior to the expiry of the validity period, we will send you a reminder, if your user account and your registered e-mail address are still active. Successfully participating to another course during those five years prolongs the validity of the diploma.   

The courses offered on cours.cgdis.lu are exclusively held by certified instructors that have been trained and nominated by the INFS.
