AED (Automated External Defibrillator) Training

Review your action plan to deal with a heart attack with our AED training course.

Recommended for

All workplaces, communities and individuals.

What this 1-2 hour course covers

Knowing how to operate an AED could save a life. During cardiac arrest every minute defibrillation is delayed, chances of survival drop by 10%. AEDs are easy to use and some include voice prompts to guide the rescuer through every step. However nothing can replace hands-on training to increase confidence in using a defibrillator, and help you use one as quickly as possible. Choose from our 1 or 2 hour training sessions, which can be held at your workplace or another site.

You will learn:

  • How to recognise the early symptoms of a heart attack
  • How to use a defibrillator and why they're important
  • Hands-on CPR with a qualified instructor (2 hour course only).
