About this Event

This course is a minimum of 37.5 hours plus assessment and attendance at all sessions is compulsory. Sessions will run 8.30am to 5.30pm, with the assessment being held on the final day of the course.

The course syllabus is split into three sections:

  • Section 3 - Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, First Aid and AED

The course will include continual assessment of understanding of the syllabus and practical skills.
