CPR Course Requirements

Only basic numeracy and literacy skills are needed to attend this course. Access to a computer with internet, as well as basic computer skills is required for completion of this unit. Completion of this unit does require the student to be able to get onto the floor to perform CPR – this is a licensing requirement of the unit.

If you have ANY special needs ( eg, language / literacy / numeracy difficulties, physical disabilities etc ) that you think may impact on your ability to complete this training please let us know prior to enrolling.

We use online assessments via the student Learner Portal for this unit. A “smart device” such as a smartphone, Ipad or laptop, fully charged with internet access is required. A tablet is the ideal sized device for this purpose, however, a smartphone is still fine to use. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure they have such a device and have gained prior access to their Learner Portal. Information on accessing their portal is available on their Confirmation email or by contacting our office. All participants of our courses must have basic computer skills. Computer / IT skills include the ability to access emails and follow links within those emails, complete online forms and create / access online profiles. If you can navigate Facebook as an example you would have no issues. 

Pre-course study

Completion of an online learning module (duration of approx 1 hour) is required prior to attending the face-to-face course. This can be found in your Learner Portal under Learning To Do. Participants will not be able to attend the face-to-face course if the online learning module is not completed – a cancellation fee will apply if you are unable due to non-completion of the pre-course work.  

There will be a short quiz at the beginning of the course on the information contained in the videos, this is to enable the trainer to better guide the content of the course for you.

Recertification requirements

CPR refresher is recommended annually.

Assessment requirements

Most courses now use electronic online assessments during class. This means students will need to bring with them a smart device with an internet connection.

There is some theory and practical assessment to ensure that the participant has gained the required knowledge and confidence in the skills covered in the unit. You will be required, as per the Training Package, to complete 2 mins of CPR on a CPR manikin on the floor.
