Course Information
Our nationally recognised HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation course is your first step to gaining the essential skills needed to respond to cardiac arrest. Ideal as both a primary CPR certification and an annual CPR refresher, this is the official ASQA-accredited unit of competency.
Our hands-on training is available in Melbourne (Cheltenham) and the Newcastle region (Bellbird), and includes practical experience with an AED (defibrillator), empowering you with the confidence to provide immediate, life-saving help when it matters most.
It increases your confidence and equips you with the skills to take control in emergencies and provide immediate help to a patient until paramedics arrive.
You will learn how to manage a cardiac arrest, perform CPR at the correct rate, and use an AED (Automated External Defibrillator).
This will ensure you can provide the patient with the best opportunity for survival.
You will also participate in a post-incident debrief and provide verbal reports to paramedics.
These skills are applicable in workplaces, homes, and community settings and they assist in meeting workplace safety compliance.
The Australian Resuscitation Council advises that you should update this course every 12 months.
