maddrifter, pretty hard to fail. Usually the only element which is assessed is the CPR.

Cardio-Pulmonary Resusciation.
Chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth breathing on someone who is not breathing and has no pulse. Although I think the current advice is just to do chest compressions.

The advice regarding just doing chest compressions stems from people's aversion to going mouth-to-mouth with a stranger - especially as if you need to do CPR, there's a good chance that face is covered in something very unpleasant... There's also an issue of protection - if there's fluids leaking everywhere you could easily catch something by putting your mouth in harm's way. Even if you start off with a clean target, relaxation of muscles that occurs during unconsciousness can lead to stomach contents reappearing.
One of the best little first aid devices you can carry around is a face shield:

It blocks everything other than air - a much more pleasant proposition.
If you just do chest compressions you are still doing a lot of good though - you're circulating the oxygenated blood around his body. What you're not doing though, is putting any more oxygen into that blood. The advice to just do compressions comes from the thought that it's better to do some good than to think 'ugh, no thanks' and do nothing at all.

I am looking with whom to improve German language for Snowboarding teaching, as this winter i am going for work to Austria as instructor.
Maybe there are someone who also looking how to improve German for teaching Snowboarding...
p.s. if we speak about teaching beginners or 2nd or even 3rd year boarders - they don't need our super good skills, they need write words and examples what they can perform - METHODOLOGY...
With best wishes for 2014/2015 season!

Maddrifter - no i will work with ISIA, as around my home land, that was what i could get to start do what i love! When i start course i didn't know will i get job in Austria, but i wanted exactly Austria.
They accepted it (as i hear in France they would not...?), i believe i get job with not local Anwarter-Landes, because i speak English, Russish, Laltvian(native) and basic of German.
I don't know for sure, but i am happy to work there!

If you work with instructors, it would be nice to keep on touch, as my future mission is to try support young people in way to their dreams, as no matter what is the result - the WAY to them make people better, smarter, happier, wiser etc.
p.s. i spend 2,5 years to get there and lost of some relationships. It can be done with out loosing nothing, sometimes people just have problems with - make decision, go for it and stay focused...
I am riding with board already for 13 years, so homework must be done anyway...
