Level 2 Basic Life Support and Safe use of an Automated External Defibrillator : 4 hour course

Heart and circulatory disease claims around 200,000 lives each year. Many could have been saved if a defibrillator was made available.

Automated External Defibrillators (AED’s) are now becoming more common throughout a range of public and workplaces.  A casualty’s survival rate will dramatically increase if an AED is available and if you have appropriately qualified personnel to use it.

This very practical course will enable you to use the AED competently and with confidence.  Not only does this course deal with the use of an AED, but it also includes vital training in basic life support including resuscitation.

THIS IS ALSO A YEARLY REQUIREMENT FOR FREC 3 / 4 HOLDERS

 

Certification

This qualification lasts for 3 years. To renew their qualification after 3 years, delegates will need to retake the full course.

Assessment

Summative practical assessment is ongoing by the instructor each day, along with a written assessment on each day.
