What do I learn in a pepper spray course?

A pepper spray course offers in-depth knowledge and practical exercises in the use of pepper spray. The aim is to gain confidence in an emergency and to understand the legal and practical basics. The content can vary depending on the provider, but the following topics are typically covered:

  • Legal basis: Information on the legal situation and the permitted use of pepper spray in Switzerland
  • Areas of use and application: Where and when the use of pepper spray is permitted and appropriate
  • Equipment knowledge: structure, mode of operation, active ingredients and handling of different pepper spray models
  • Tactical and practical tips: Specific recommendations for action and exercises for effective and safe use
  • Emergency aid and aftercare: first aid after deployment and behavior towards affected persons and authorities

A pepper spray course is not just theoretical training, but also offers practical elements to apply the knowledge safely. This creates a realistic understanding of how to use self-defense tools.
