This first aid course covers a broad range of topics to enable participants to confidently manage emergency situations and provide a first aid response to a casualty. It is suitable to both people in workplaces and members of the public who want training in first aid as well as the skills and knowledge required to use specialised equipment in the provision of resuscitation (eg: OxyViva 3)

It is recommended in line with the Australian Resuscitation guidelines that first aid skills are renewed at least every three years and CPR skills every 12 months.

The course will be based on theoretical sessions, equipment demonstrations and practical exercises.
