PVB Weekends
The last PvB weekend of 2026 will take place on 10-11th of October in Freyr. You can sign-up here: https://forms.gle/xfiR1fFCJrrwRbUZ9
The sign-ups close on the 10th of September.
Registration does not guarantee an actual PvB exam. You will be contacted as soon as possible after the registrations have closed with further information and the planning.
This year too, we will strictly adhere to the deadlines set by the NKBV.
- The deadline for registering is one month before the PvB weekend.
The deadline for submitting your portfolio in FLOWSPARKS is three weeks in advance.
A few more points of attention, mainly for the learning coaches and the candidates:
- Each candidate’s learning coach must be aware that they intend to take the exam.
- Registration is only final once payment has been completed. The payment details can be found in the registration form. Some SACs will reimburse (part of) the costs. Check with your own SAC for the applicable rules
- SKI candidates must possess a valid first aid certificate or have this course scheduled at the time of registration.
- For a Personal Skills and MP exam, you must arrange one climber yourself. For a SKI exam, you must arrange four climbers yourself.
This is the last weekend of 2026. The next weekends will be in the spring of 2027.
EHBBO courses
The next EHBBO course will take place in Amsterdam on November 7th. This course will be done together with Outdoor Medicine. You can sign-up here: https://forms.gle/M7siHeSqVybqeRFf7
These courses are intended for anyone who would like to learn to provide first aid (in mountainous terrain). Instructors in training will be given priority in this course.
For SKIers who still need a first aid certificate to be eligible for the exam, please know that this is not a problem. It’s perfectly fine to take your first aid certificate after your PvB, as long as it’s scheduled during your exam.
