Online Pre-Theory –

Theory must be completed at least 24hrs prior to attending your class. Failure to complete theory may result in your booking being cancelled and all monies forfeited. Trainers are provided the class list detailing theory completion results the day prior to class.

Learners will gain immediate access to the theory portal upon completion of their booking and payment, refer to your confirmation email for the link (please check junk mail folders or contact us if not received).

Practical Assessment –

Skills must be demonstrated working individually in an environment that provides realistic in-depth, industry validated scenarios and simulations to assess candidates’ skills and knowledge.

Please let us know if you have any medical conditions or special needs that may prevent you from getting on the floor. It is a requirement that CPR be performed for at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (5 cycles of both compressions and ventilations) on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor.

Simulated assessment environments must simulate the real-life working environment where these skills and knowledge would be performed, with all the relevant equipment and resources of that working environment.

Performance Assessment must include –

Learners must:

Perform CPR (HLTAID009 component)
- On an adult manikin placed on the floor, for at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR (5 cycles of compressions and breaths).
- On an infant manikin, for at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR (5 cycles).
- Use of an AED (defibrillator) on adult and infant manikins.
Respond to at least two simulated first aid scenarios (these must cover different types of emergencies):
- One must be a life-threatening situation (e.g., unconscious casualty requiring CPR, severe allergic reaction, severe asthma attack, etc.).
- One must involve a non-life-threatening situation (e.g., bleeding, fracture, burn, shock, sprain/strain, diabetes, seizure, poisoning).
Provide first aid to a casualty who is:
- Unconscious, breathing normally (recovery position).
- Experiencing anaphylaxis and asthma (use of adrenaline auto-injector and inhaler with spacer).
- Bleeding and/or in shock.
- With fractures, sprains, strains, dislocations, head/neck/spinal injuries.
