Overview

HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

Anyone can be confronted with a medical emergency at any time; it is not predictable and may involve a friend or family member. This course has been designed to provide participants with the skills and knowledge to provide initial life support to a casualty until a handover to medical professionals is possible.

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines.

This unit applies to all persons who may be required to provide CPR, in a range of situations, including community and workplace settings.

Renewing your CPR skills can save a life. This has been the case for a number of ASSET students.

Testimonial

“I just wanted to let you know that our trainer was amazing. I have done First Aid and CPR classes a few times before and normally the trainer has just told us what to write and then gotten us to use a bandage etc. Glen’s version was so much more informative and I think it prepared us all for real emergency situations so we might actually provide first aid instead of watching. His humour and constant energy made the day very enjoyable.”
