CPR & AED Training

A cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere and at any time. The chance of survival falls by about 10%* for each minute that passes without defibrillation. The risk of death can be reduced if you have a defibrillator in your workplace with staff trained on how to use it.

If you already have a defibrillator it’s important that your employees know where it is. Every second counts and this course will give you the confidence to act quickly and efficiently. Most importantly the course will also teach defibrillator operators how to perform effective CPR.
