This course has been designed to provide participants with the skills and knowledge to provide initial life support through CPR.
Overview
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 course is based on the latest Health Services Training Package (HLT) and has been designed using recommendations from the Australian Resuscitation Council.
Renewing your CPR skills can save a life. This has been the case for a number of ASSET students.
