In forceThe emergency care teaching centre, the medical or health training and research unit or the Val-de-Grâce School authorises the trainers authorised to provide training to obtain the certificate of training in emergency first aid, known as "AFGSU trainers".

Training sessions must be scheduled to meet the needs identified, in particular by training institutes preparing for a diploma with a view to practising a health profession.
The emergency care teaching centre, the medical or health training and research unit or the Val-de-Grâce School issues certificates of training in emergency first aid, whether the centre, unit or school has provided the training or whether it has been provided by a training structure that has signed an agreement with the centre, unit or school, under conditions defined by order of the Minister of Health.
The emergency care teaching centre, the medical or health training and research unit or the Val-de-Grâce School is responsible for the educational quality of this training, in accordance with the guidelines defined by order of the Minister for Health.
The certificates mentioned in this article are issued on completion of the training course and may not be subject to the payment of any stamp duty.
