This study is a prospective, randomized trial that compares the effectiveness and retention of four different training methods for the use of an AED: A. Traditional instructor based learning;
B. The use of a personal manikin with a DVD training to practice the necessary AED skills;
C. The use of a personal manikin with a DVD training to practice the necessary AED skills and additional scenario training;
D. Watching a 2.5 minutes DVD which shows the use of an AED.
It is hypnotised that there are no differences between these training methods, in which case method D is most efficient to reach large number of people to learn BLS/AED skills.
There are two interesting target groups to reach:
As there might be differences in the results between different training methods than can be related to age, each training group is distinguished to three different groups:
It is hypnotised that there are no differences between younger and older students within each of the four training methods.

Instructor based training; <21 years: Placebo Comparator
The instructor based training is a 1.25 hour training as described by the ERC in their standard training program [ref; navragen bij Koen] and using the ERC PowerPoint presentation. There is one manikin and one AED trainer per six students. The group consists out of 12 students maximal, with one instructor per six students.

Other: Standard training
Instructor-based training meeting ERC directions

Instructor based training; 21-50 years: Placebo Comparator
The instructor based training is a 1.25 hour training as described by the ERC in their standard training program [ref; navragen bij Koen] and using the ERC PowerPoint presentation. There is one manikin and one AED trainer per six students. The group consists out of 12 students maximal, with one instructor per six students.

Video Skill Training; <21 years: Experimental
Participants practise AED skills, watching a 4.5-min video in a single uninterrupted session. There is no instructor available. The video demonstrates the use of an AED; when to use it, how to turn it on, how to attach the electrodes, keeping distance and delivering a shock.

Video scenario training; <21 years: Experimental
Participants practises AED skills, watching a 9-min video in a single uninterrupted session. There is no instructor available. The video demonstrates the use of an AED; when to use it, how to turn it on, how to attach the electrodes, keeping distance and delivering a shock, and additional two scenarios, in each of which they practice the BLS/AED procedure.
