Do you require the skills and knowledge to provide CPR in any situation, including community and workplace settings?

In this course you will learn how to respond in an emergency situation, perform CPR procedures, communicate details of the incident and evaluate your own performance.

HMC Group Solutions has the ability to conduct on site training & assessment, with ability to modify our course structure to suit your needs!

Course Information:

•  Students must be 16 years and over

• All students must provide 100 points of Identification.

• Enclosed shoes must be worn

• Due to the practical component of this training students must have sufficient physical ability to participate.

• A Unique Student Identifier (USI) Number is required prior to enrolments being processed. To obtain a USI number, please go to www.usi.gov.au to register.

• Assessment will take place on more than one occasion over the duration of the course with an opportunity to learn and practice skills and knowledge between each assessment. Assessment tasks may include written assessment, oral questioning, workplace observation & demonstration of techniques in the workplace or simulated workplace

• It is important to note that there are physical standards which relate to the level of performance required when undertaking accredited training. The HLTAID competency standards require a level of physical ability to provide resuscitation and respond to an emergency situation where there may be risk to life. One requirement of the training package is that you are to be assessed as physically capable of performing uninterrupted CPR for at least 2 minutes on an adult CPR manikin placed on the floor. There can be no exceptions to these Australian Government requirements that are clearly written into the Training Package. Therefore, students who are unable to satisfy the physical requirements of the course cannot be deemed competent or issued with a statement of attainment, even if the qualification is a necessary part of their employment conditions.

Assessment:

Theory

You will be assessed on: State/Territory regulations, first aid codes of practice and workplace procedures; Legal, workplace and community considerations; Considerations when providing CPR; Basic anatomy and physiology

Practical

The simulated assessment environments will reflect the real-life working environment where these skills and knowledge would be performed, with all the relevant equipment and resources of that working environment.  Skills must be demonstrated by the student working individually in an environment that provides realistic in-depth, industry-validated scenarios and simulations to assess students’ skills and knowledge. It’s important that students have knowledge of the content of this course. The assessable practical skills are listed below.

You will be assessed on responding to first aid scenario and task demonstrations for: Adult CPR; Infant CPR; Defibrillation
