How to perform single-rescuer and team-based CPR in line with Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines.

Pre-course theory may be completed online prior to attending the face to face practical, which reduces the face-to-face delivery time. Consideration is given to previous skills, knowledge and experience for students refreshing an existing or equivalent certificate.
Standard – Up to 4 hours pre-course learning + 6 hours completed face to face
Note: These are approximate timings and may vary based on the number of students, their level of experience, and whether the theory component is completed beforehand or integrated into the face-to-face session.
Participants must hold a current certificate for HLTAID011 Provide First Aid.’ Students are required to demonstrate a sound level of proficiency in spoken and written English, which will be tested in a Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital Skills Assessment.
