Aim:
To train staff on safe and confident use of AED equipment. This course can be run as part of a First Aid course or as a stand alone course.
A cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. A person's chance of survival falls by about 10% for each minute that passes without defibrillation.
The risk of death can be reduced if you have a defibrillator in your workplace and know how to use it. If you already have a defibrillator, it’s important that your employees know where it is. Every second matters and this course will give you the confidence to act quickly and effectively. Most importantly, the course will also teach defibrillator operators how to perform effective CPR.
Our course teaches the essential skills that an AED operator needs and gives students the confidence to know what to do in an emergency.
