Hands-On Training and Life-Saving Skills

When you join our CPR course, you're learning skills that could save someone's life. Let's break down the practical skills you'll master:

Essential Life-Saving Techniques

Our trainers make sure you get real experience with:

• Proper hand positioning for chest compressions

• Correct compression depth and rhythm

• Rescue breathing techniques

• Response to unconscious patients

• Managing emergency situations alone and with help

Why In-Person Training Matters

While online learning is convenient, there's a good reason why CPR certification requires hands-on practice. Australian certification standards require you to demonstrate:

• Correct CPR technique on a manikin for 2 minutes straight

• Proper use of an AED (defibrillator)

• Response to simulated emergency scenarios

• Competency in real-world situations

Working with AED Equipment

You'll get hands-on practice with defibrillator equipment - no more feeling nervous about those AED boxes on walls. We'll show you:

• How to turn it on and follow the voice prompts

• Where to place the pads correctly

• What to do if you're working with a wet patient

• When to use (and not use) an AED

• Common mistakes to avoid

Real-World Scenarios

Because real emergencies don't happen in perfect conditions, we practice different situations:
