HLTAID001 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Course superseded by HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Sunshine Coast First Aid offer nationally accredited and ACN approved First Aid courses for individuals and business in Caloundra and Maroochydore and across the Sunshine Coast. Our HLTAID001 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation course gives you all the skills and practical experience required to resuscitate a casualty. It covers both manual CPR techniques and detailed instructions on the use of an AED (automated external defibrillator) and EpiPen on both adults and children.

Being able to perform CPR is a crucial skill that can save lives. It is often used for suspected heart attacks, drowning and drug overdoses. In these emergency situations, when CPR is applied by a first responder, it dramatically increases the casualty’s chance of survival and recovery. As a number of our training facilitators are registered nurses and healthcare professionals, many of them can draw on first-hand experience in delivering CPR so you can be assured of the quality and integrity of our training.

Provide CPR and AED is our most popular course as it is an annual course requirement for compliance across many industries. It is offered individually or as part of the benchmark HLTAID003 Provide first aid course. Provide CPR and AED follows the ARC (Australian Resuscitation Council) guidelines and all our facilitators are certified by ASQA (Australian Skills Quality Authority).
