A half-day, in-company course that trains your staff to act in a cardiac arrest emergency: to give effective CPR and to use an automated external defibrillator (AED) safely and with confidence.
AED training is a short course that prepares staff to respond to a sudden cardiac arrest: to recognise it, start CPR, and use an automated external defibrillator. KeyOstas delivers it in half a day at your premises, and every delegate receives a KeyOstas AED operator certificate.
It is for the workplaces that want people ready to act if a colleague collapses.
By the end of the half day, every delegate will be able to do the following.
Assess an emergency situation and take the appropriate action, including calling the emergency services.
Understand the basic anatomy of the heart and the common causes of cardiac arrest.
Demonstrate effective CPR and basic life support, and explain the chain of survival.
Demonstrate safe care of an unconscious casualty.
Demonstrate how to use the AED unit, and understand the safety points around it.
Explain what defibrillation is and why early defibrillation matters.
Carry out daily checks and routine care of the AED unit.
Carry out post-incident reporting after using the AED.
A focused half day combining the theory with hands-on practice.
Practical and hands-on, with no written exam.
A KeyOstas tutor delivers the session at your premises, on training equipment or your own AED.
Delegates are assessed on demonstrating CPR and safe AED use, rather than by a written exam.
Every delegate receives a KeyOstas AED operator certificate on completion.
