Course Overview

This course provides the skills and knowledge required to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), respond to life threatening emergencies and to provide a first aid response to a casualty in line with legal, workplace, community considerations and Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC).

The course covers topics such as assessing the casualty, providing safety, accessing emergency services, and using resources to provide first aid, such as providing CPR and using a defibrillator, administering an autoinjector for anaphylaxis, administering asthma medication, assisting someone choking, using appropriate immobilisation techniques for envenomation, fractures, dislocations, sprains and strains, managing casualties with non- life-threatening bleeding and shock.

The course includes basic anatomy, physiology and the differences between adults, children and infants relating to CPR, the importance of the chain of survival, written and verbal reporting of incident details, reviewing incidents to improve own skills and response times, to recognise psychological impacts, and seeking help as required.

Specific licensing/regulatory requirements relating to this competency, including requirements for refresher training should be obtained from the relevant national/state/territory Work Health and Safety Regulatory Authorities.

Please note: The blended learning program will be delivered via online delivery and 1 day of classroom training and delivery.

Skills Recognition

The CET Skills Recognition process benefits applicants who have undergone prior learning and recognises
competencies obtained outside a formal educational or training environment, gained through life or work experience. Competencies currently held by applicants will be formally assessed against each applicable Unit of Competency and maybe recognised regardless of how, when and where they were achieved. Skills Recognition is an assessment process and a cost recovery charge will apply.

CET accepts and provides credit to learners for units of competency and/or modules (unless licensing or regulatory requirements prevent this) where these are evidenced by:

AQF certification documentation issued by any other RTO or AQF authorised issuing organisation; or
Authenticated VET transcript issued by the Registrar

If you believe you are entitled to Skills and/or National Recognition, we encourage you to complete an Application Form available from our administration team.
