A controlled clinical trial will be performed. School children from the age of 10 to 11 will be selected to learn basic life support (BLS) in a primary school of Zaragoza. One of the groups will learn BLS in two consecutive years and the other group will learn BLS only the first year. The investigators think that the knowledge will be better in the group that receives two interventions.
A controlled clinical trial will be performed. 72 participants between 10 and 11 years old will be selected and randomized to participate. Control group and experimental group will enrolled 36 participants each one. Control group will receive BLS training once. Experimental group will receive BLS training in two consecutive years. Previous and after training a test will be performed.

At first, children will make a test to evaluate their pre- intervention basic support life knowledge. Secondly, they will receive a theoretical class about BLS, based on European Resuscitation Council Guide 2015. After that, they will make a practical workshop on BLS. Finally they will repeat the initial test. The second year, this group will only make the test, they won't receive any theory or practice.
