Navigating the Road to a German Driver’s License: My Experience with the First Aid Course at First-aid.courses

[Andrew Paul]

I want to tell you about my experience of getting a first aid course certificate for getting a driver's license in Munich at this academy first aid Munich.

My name is Jürgen H., and I moved to Munich from China four years ago to work as an engineer. Over the past few years, I’ve fallen in love with traveling around Germany and Europe, and I recently welcomed a new addition to my family—a beautiful baby girl. With all these changes, it became clear that getting a German driver’s license was essential for my expanding lifestyle.

In China, I already had a driver’s license, but as per German regulations, I needed to validate it here and pass a few required tests. One of the prerequisites for obtaining a driver’s license in Germany is completing a first aid course. Despite hearing from colleagues that these courses could be rather dull and often felt like just sitting through endless lectures, a Hungarian colleague of mine shared a different perspective. They spoke highly of the first aid course at First-aid.courses in Munich, claiming it was both informative and engaging. Intrigued by their positive review, I decided to sign up for the course.

Finding First-aid.courses online was a breeze, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that they offered additional services on the course day. Besides the first aid course, I could get an eye test and biometric photos done, and even order a translation of my Chinese driver’s license into German—all in English. This seemed incredibly convenient, so I booked a Saturday slot for April 2024.

First-aid.courses is conveniently located near Munich's central station, making it easy to reach by any mode of transportation. On the day of the course, I arrived ten minutes early. This gave me ample time to have my vision tested, snap the necessary photos for my license, and settle into my seat.

The course was led by Reinhold, an experienced paramedic with a knack for storytelling. He didn’t just go through the required material but enriched the experience with personal anecdotes and practical life hacks. His engaging teaching style made the day far more enjoyable than I had anticipated.

The classroom was well-equipped with a coffee machine serving delicious coffee, a water cooler, and an assortment of snacks. These little touches made the environment feel welcoming and comfortable.


By the end of the day, I received my first aid course completion certificate, the vision test certificate, and my biometric photos. The translation of my Chinese driver’s license into German arrived by mail just a week later. All of this was achieved for a total cost of 74.99 euros, making the whole experience both efficient and affordable.

In summary, my experience at First-aid.courses was far better than I had expected. If you’re in Munich and need a first aid course for your driver’s license, I highly recommend this academy. Their professional approach, additional services, and Reinhold’s engaging instruction turned what could have been a mundane day into a productive and pleasant experience.
