The aim of the LatRC is to ensure that citizens of Latvia are ready to react to critical health and safety risks. To ensure that Latvian citizens are ready to provide care, the LatRC will tailor first aid courses to the needs of particular groups and provide training in various places within the country.
The LatRC is a certified first aid training organisation that, in accordance with educational programmes, is allowed to provide first aid training to high-risk groups of citizens and professions, including drivers of vehicles.
