CPR Standard
HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
For anyone with little to no CPR experience — the knowledge and skills required to perform CPR.
Book NowOnline pre-course training is required (~1 hour): a first aid manual plus a series of multiple-choice questions you can save and finish any time before the course.
The face-to-face training is 4 hours covering both theory and practical CPR. You will be assessed on practical skills as a requirement to pass.
This course provides participants who may have a limited understanding of CPR with the knowledge and skills required to perform CPR in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) Guidelines. CPR skills should be updated annually.
Training and assessment are done on behalf of ABC First Aid, RTO 3399.
