Description
An Automated External Defibrillation (AED) course for workplace candidates who already hold a current First Aid at Work certificate. The course follows the Level 3 QCF syllabus (SCQF Level 5 AWARD Scotland) and you will receive a Green Cross training QCF certificate.
100% Pass Guaranteed - In the unlikely event that any delegate fails to succeed on the course we will offer re-training on another course and re-assessment FREE of charge. This is subject to terms and conditions.
Congratulations, you are about to embark on a Basic Life Support course leading to a national award in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillation (AED) which will give you the knowledge and competence to decide when and how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
Cardiac arrest claims thousands of lives every year but many could have been saved through the use of a defibrillator. A casualty’s survival prospect will dramatically increase if an AED and a trained operator is available. In response to this fact, Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are now becoming more common throughout a range of work and public places.
Not only will you be gaining a very valuable life skill - you will also be gaining a national Award that you may add to your formal general educational development.
