Description
What does the course cover?
The Level 2 AED and CPR course provides learners with skills to further their first aid training. It is recommended for first aiders in the workplace environment who have access to a defibrillator. A person’s chance of survival falls by about 7% for each minute that passes without defibrillation. The risk of death can be reduced if you have a defibrillator in your workplace and know how to use it. (No previous first aid knowledge is needed to attend an AED and CPR course.)
