What does the course offer?
Early defibrillation is critical to survival from cardiac arrest. Use of an AED alongside good CPR can increase the survival rate for cardiac arrest from 5% to 50%.
The course combines theoretical training in the use of an automated defibrillator with individual hands-on practical, so candidates gain the knowledge and experience of using an AED from pad placement to delivering a shock.
All of our training courses are delivered by qualified instructors.
