Learn the skills and knowledge required to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) per the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines.
Upon successful completion of assessment(s), students will be awarded a Statement of Attainment for unit(s): HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Industry standards (ARC) recommend completing the course every 12 months to maintain currency.
Pre-requisites
Students, including those completing a full course or refresher course, must complete a mandatory pre-course assessment before attending the face-to-face practical training and assessment session. The pre-course assessment will take approximately 1 hour and can be completed in one of two ways:
- Paper-based: Collect a printed assessment from TCC, complete it and return it to the College before your face-to-face session.
- Electronic: You will be emailed a fillable document assessment from TCC, complete it and return it to the College before your face-to-face session.
If you attend the face-to-face session without having completed the pre-course assessment, you may participate in the session; however, your course cannot be successfully completed, and a Statement of Attainment cannot be issued until the assessment has been submitted and marked satisfactory.
You may remain at the College after the face-to-face session to complete the assessment or submit it within five business days. You have a maximum of 5 business days to complete and return your Pre-Course Assessment. If your Pre-Course Assessment is not returned within this time, you will be required to attend the classroom component again and submit the Pre-Course Assessment prior to attending.
Requirements
Students must be physically able to perform at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor and on an infant resuscitation manikin placed on a firm surface.
Supported option
TCC remains committed to providing all students with supports needed for a positive learning experience and have ensured that opportunities to complete the Pre-Course Assessment in a supported environment at the College are made available to students who require additional support with language, literacy or numeracy skills, or even if you just need a quiet place to be.
