Oxygen and Defibrillation Courses

Oxygen and Defibrillation Courses can be run as separate programmes, as a part of refresher training or as a supplement to workplace training.

Our Oxygen Course is ideal to supplement workplace training where risks may include incidents, illnesses or trauma where oxygen is highly desirable. The module teaches students to recognise emergencies where emergency oxygen will be beneficial, to provide emergency oxygen to both breathing and non-breathing patients, to understand the hazards associated with oxygen use and to practice safe handling techniques.

Our AED course deals specifically with the knowledge and skills needed to apply and operate an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) on a patient in cardiopulmonary arrest. The goal of the training is to help gain the core knowledge, skills and confidence necessary to provide effective emergency care using an AED until professional medical care is available.

 

Who should attend

Individuals who are designated workplace first aid officers or individuals that wish to increase their first aid knowledge and skills. The pre-requisite for this course is a current workplace first aid certificate.

Pricing, scheduling, bookings

For scheduling information or to book this course, use our Online Booking system. Alternatively, if you have 12+ people for a course or would like to speak to one of our trained instructors please contact us directly.

As a guide the Oxygen Course normally takes 8 hours and the Defibrillation Course normally takes another 8 hours. However both can be completed in a shorter timeframe if candidates are deemed to be competent in the required skills.
