CPR for EVERYONE

The CPR for EVERYONE course is designed to teach the techniques of CPR and choking in adults, children, and infants, and the use of the AED to lay rescuers, particularly those who are expected to respond to emergencies in their occupation or workplace. The course is ideal for security personnel, law enforcement officers, firefighters, teachers, lifeguards, swimming coaches, health and fitness staff, corporate and retail employees and other lay responders.

The course provides hands-on practice in the skills of CPR and choking for adults, children and infants, including the use of barrier devices and pocket masks, and how to activate the emergency services. A 20-page colour manual will be provided to each participant for review before, during and after the course.

The student will be required to pass a 15-question multiple choice test and successfully pass three skills tests before receiving a numbered Resuscitation Council of Southern Africa certificate of competence in CPR, choking and AED.
