Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Learn essential CPR, an important life skill to have.

The skills you will gain in this course are important for you if you may be required to provide CPR in workplace settings, but they are also incredibly useful in the community.

You will learn how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) Guidelines.

On successful completion, you will receive a Statement of Attainment for this course.

You must be able to demonstrate the physical capabilities required to follow the DRSABCD (danger, response, send for help, airway, breathing, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation) principles, in line with ARC guidelines including:

• performing at least two minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer CPR (five cycles of both compressions and ventilations) on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor
• performing at least two minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer CPR (five cycles of both compressions and ventilations) on an infant resuscitation manikin.

• provide photo ID to the trainer on the day of the course
• bring a pen and paper
• wear casual clothing.

Core Units

This course involves accredited units.  You will be required to complete assessment tasks to demonstrate your underpinning knowledge, skills and attributes to meet the course outcomes.  A combination of written, oral and practical assessment strategies will be used in either a classroom, online or workplace environment. 

Where units require demonstration of skills in a workplace environment, you will have the opportunity to do this either in your own workplace (where appropriate), through a practical placement, or by using one of the Institute's simulated workshops/classrooms.  Detailed information about the types, conduct and dates of assessments will be provided in advance.  You will also be provided with information about the opportunity for reassessment and appeal.

Once you have applied for your chosen course, you will receive a thank you email from South West TAFE with a few steps to help process your enrolment.
