Emergency Response Officers are employees who perform emergency response tasks if an emergency situation occurs. Their main tasks are to evacuate employees in the case of an emergency, fight and contain fires and to provide first aid. How many of these officers a company has to have depends on the size of the company and the risks that are present in the company.

To ensure that there are enough Emergency Response Officers in each company and that they know how to perform their tasks correctly, we offer Emergency Response Officer training. This ERO training is a basic training where you will be educated to become an ERO and will learn all the necessary skills to fulfill your duties correctly when an emergency arises. After you have finished the training and passed the exam, you will receive an emergency response certificate that is valid for a year. After a year you must prolong the diploma by taking the ERO refresher training to make sure that your skills are still up to the required standards.

Your time investment

This Emergency Response Officer training uses e-learning. In our e-learning environment you can study the theory of the course before the practice day takes place.

Theory: about 4 hours - in the e-learning environment
Practice day: from 08.30 - 16.00 hours - on location in Amsterdam, The Hague, Utrecht or Eindhoven

ERO training: e-learning and theoretic exam

The Emergency Response Officer training consists of two parts: a theoretical part and a practice part. The theoretical part can be finished at home in our dynamic e-learning environment. The e-learning environment consists of several modules with study material. We offer several different ways to study the material, so you can get the best results possible.

The e-learning program consists of six modules. After each module, you make a practice exam to prepare you for the two theoretical exams that you have to take after you finish all modules. To pass the exams you have to answer at least 70% of the exam questions correctly. In order to participate in the practice day, you have to finish all six e-learning modules and pass both of the exams. It is important that you do this at least three workings days before the practice day of the Emergency Response Officer training.

The modules of the e-learning program:

Introduction online study material
General first aid rules
Non-emergency aid
Emergency first aid
Fire fighting and evacuation
Emergency Response in practice

You finish the e-learning modules with a two-part exam:

ERO basics fire
ERO basics first aid

Studying all six e-learning modules and making the two exams will take on average 4 hours. If you already have some knowledge about the basics of emergency response, you can go through the modules quicker. In that situation, you might need less than 4 hours to finish the theoretical part.

Practice day

If you have passed your theoretical exams three working days before the practice day, you can join the practice day. During the practice day, you practice the emergency response tasks. The tasks that you are going to practice are:

Suffocation
Bandaging
The recovery position
CPR
Fire extinguishing exercises
Door procedure

During the practice day we will extensively cover the theory that you have learned. Because you have prepared yourself well with the e-learning modules, you can practice many different emergency response tasks during the practice day in a relatively short time.

After the Emergency Response Officer training

After you have finished the Emergency Response Officer training, you know how to act in an emergency situation. You will know how to do the following tasks:

Vacate and evacuate;
Communication in the event of an emergency;
CPR (with and without AED);
Life saving acts;
Various forms of injuries and recognizing them;
The difference between fire extinguishing agents and when to use which;
Recognize and fight a starting fire.

Is this course suitable for me?

This course is suitable for people who want to become an Emergency Response Officer and like to study the theoretical part of the training online. The course will be given in English. If you want to follow this course in Dutch, you can follow our BHV basis course. You don't need to have had any previous education on this topic.

The ERO diploma of the ERO basic training course is valid for one year. After a year you must prolong the diploma by taking the ERO refresher training.
