What this course covers
This course teaches you to use specialised resuscitation equipment on someone whose breathing or heart has stopped: an automated external defibrillator (AED), oxygen equipment and a bag-valve mask.
It follows the Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines, and it is built for complex situations at work and in the community. It is for workers who may have to use that equipment: people in health and aged care, lifeguards and aquatic staff, crews on remote and industrial sites, and emergency responders.
The Statement of Attainment covers two units: HLTAID015 and HLTAID009, the CPR unit.
- What you'll learn
- Respond to an emergency
- Perform advanced resuscitation

Why do this course?
This is the step up from CPR — you train on the equipment a real response uses, defibrillators, oxygen and bag-valve masks, so you can keep someone going until the ambulance arrives.
- Where it's relevant: aquatic facilities, health and care settings, and remote or industrial sites — the workplaces that keep this equipment on hand.
How you'll train
In person
Before you come in, you complete a short online module — about 1 to 3 hours. You attend a classroom session with a trainer and practise on the real equipment — an AED, oxygen equipment and a bag-valve mask.
