Traffic Rescuer – level I

The unique Polish educational programme, the aim of which is to train drivers and people connected with motorization and transport in the area of traffic rescue and first medical aid. Since 2010 we have already trained in traffic rescue over 5000 people. There are 2000 Traffic Rescuers more on Polish roads every year. By becoming a Traffic Rescuer you join a group of completely trained specialists, prepared to rescue operations during traffic accidents. Traffic Rescuers are able to do both, give first aid and manage a rescue action until the professional help does not arrive, as well as co-operate with professional service at a much higher level than ordinary transport users.

Traffic Rescue training does not focus exclusively on medical aspects on purpose. However, it concentrates mainly on issues connected with managing the rescue action, and skills of co-operating with rescue services, as well as the knowledge of law regulations.

Is it worth it?
