The face-to-face training is 7 hours and covers both theory and practical aspects of CPR Training. During the face-to face training students will also be assessed on practical skills as a requirement to pass the course.
This course provides participant who may have a basic understanding of First Aid with the knowledge and skills to build on their ability to manage a situation using first aid and basic life support principles until arrival of medical assistance in a time frame that allows for more questioning and practical simulations.
You will learn about how to call for help, how to recognise and respond to first aid situations including conducting casualty assessment, and how to assess basic life support functions including the need for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation. This course covers adult and child conditions.
