Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene attended the annual Monaco Red Cross First Aid diploma ceremony on March 17th at the Rainier III Auditorium, where 1,451 people received recognition for completing first aid training.
The Princely Couple personally presented special prizes to the highest-achieving students, including the top three pupils from Collège Charles III, Collège François d’Assise–Nicolas Barré and the International School of Monaco.
Awards also went to graduates from the Police Academy, the Civil Service, Monaco Town Hall, and representatives from the private and voluntary sectors, as well as members of the general public.
The vast majority are now certified to hold the PSC qualification (the first level of first aid training) equipping them to respond quickly and effectively in emergencies.
Monaco’s Red Cross said it will now press ahead with its training, assistance and public awareness missions throughout 2026, with particular focus on young people.
The organisation aims to ensure that life-saving skills are taught from an early age and become second nature to the next generation.
