Located on the lush island of São Miguel in the Azores archipelago, Vila Franca do Campo offers more than just stunning coastal views and volcanic landscapes. It is also home to an essential opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts, divers, and anyone passionate about safety: the Primeiros Socorros & RCP (First Aid & CPR) training course. This comprehensive, engaging 7-9 hour online program equips participants with vital skills to respond effectively in life-threatening emergencies, making it a crucial part of any adventurer’s preparation.
What sets this course apart is its inclusivity and practical approach.

This course also includes civil liability insurance and international certification upon completion, adding an official layer of competence recognized worldwide. The flexible scheduling allows participants to balance the training with exploration of the island’s other offerings—whether hiking volcanic trails, whale watching, or savoring local cuisine.
Why book this course while visiting São Miguel?

In a place where nature’s beauty can surprise with sudden challenges, being equipped with first aid knowledge is invaluable.
