Driver's license category B
First aid course
Lesson 180 min
The first aid course is a mandatory part of getting your category B driving licence in Norway. The course prepares you to respond correctly and confidently if you are first at the scene of a traffic accident — covering your legal duties, how to secure the scene, how to assess injuries, and how to perform basic life-saving first aid. The practical component includes a simulated accident scenario, giving you hands-on experience in a controlled setting.
At Kör, you can book the first aid course as a standalone course at any of our locations across Norway. If you are under 25, the course is included as part of trafikalt grunnkurs and must be completed before you can start practice driving or take driving lessons. If you are 25 or older, you can take driving lessons first and complete the first aid course before your practical driving test.
All Kör first aid courses are taught by qualified instructors approved by Norsk Førstehjelpsråd (the Norwegian First Aid Council).

First aid course for category B driving license in Norway
The first aid course is a mandatory part of the driving licence process for category B in Norway. It gives you the knowledge and practical skills to respond correctly at the scene of a traffic accident — from assessing injuries and securing the scene to performing basic life-saving first aid.

This depends on your age. If you are under 25, the first aid course is part of the mandatory basic traffic course (trafikalt grunnkurs), which must be completed before you can start practice driving or take any driving lessons with a driving school.

You can take driving lessons and practice driving before completing the course.
The course covers your legal duties at the scene of a traffic accident, how to secure the accident scene and act correctly, how to assess the extent of injuries, and how to report the accident. You also practise basic life-saving first aid through a simulated accident scenario, including being first at the scene, calling for help, and performing practical first aid on injured persons.
The first aid component consists of 4 hours of teaching, of which at least 1 hour is a hands-on practical exercise using a simulated accident. The course is taught by qualified personnel approved by Norsk Førstehjelpsråd (the Norwegian First Aid Council).
