This course can be adapted to suit a variety of audiences, from the complete novice to those who are skilled but feel their resuscitation skills need updating.
Audiences range from parents, school staff and other first aiders through to dentists, nurses and other healthcare professionals.
Resuscitation training includes the necessary theory followed by lots of practical “hands-on” practise to build confidence. The training is in line with current Resuscitation Council (UK) Guidelines.
Assessment and Certification
Given the practical nature of basic life support, delegates will be assessed throughout the day, predominantly through practical, hands on, assessments. There is no final exam and delegates who complete the course and are deemed to have met the required standards will receive a certificate, valid for three years.
Under the current guidelines it is strongly recommended that trained staff attend a half-day update every twelve months.
This course is suitable if you/your delegates are seeking to prequalify in basic life support and use of AEDs only.
