This course has been designed to provide participants with the skills and knowledge to provide initial life support through CPR.
Overview
**This course has online learning and assessment that must be completed prior to attending your face to face workshop.**
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.
