About the course
A 6-hour course that has been specifically designed for those who have a responsibility at work, or in community or voluntary activities to provide emergency care to patients, such as event medical providers, emergency ambulance personnel, registered healthcare professionals and those working in specialist roles within the emergency services and military.
Before you come
You are attending a First Aid or Pre-Hospital Care training course, so we recommend comfortable clothing and footwear due to the practical nature of the session. To correctly assess specific skills, you will be asked to complete practical assessments, including CPR and safe use of an AED, which must be completed on the floor.
If the Learner has difficulty kneeling on the floor, they may practise with the manikin on a table or chair if it is safe. In real life, the casualty is likely to fall to the floor, so the Learner must demonstrate CPR and the safe use of an AED with the manikin on the floor at least once. Padding such as a folded coat may be provided to kneel on during the assessment. When using an AED trainer, the Learner must perform the skill without assistance from a third party. The Learner must demonstrate at least 2 cycles of CPR before applying the AED pads in the correct position and then follow the AED instructions for at least 2 further cycles without assistance from a third party. (Section 4b)
During the course you will learn practical skills and have opportunities to apply them in real-life scenarios. Our trainers will be available to answer any questions you may have.
