To successfully complete this course, you must have the physical ability to perform 2 minutes of continuous CPR on an adult and an infant manikin on the ground.

In addition to this, you must have the ability to manually manoeuvre a person or a 50kg manikin into the recovery position.

During the practical assessment you will need to demonstrate your ability to safely and effectively rescue and resuscitate a person from an electrocution scenario in a simulated work environment.

The rescue will be timed.

In addition you need:

• A computer, tablet or smartphone with an inbuilt camera and access to the internet
• Identification document, such as a driver's license or passport
• Ability to attend our training centre for the practical component, appropriate clothing and footwear must be worn when in the training environment
• Physical ability to perform at least 2 minutes of continuous CPR on a manikin on the floor
• A level 2 English Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) skill level, use our free LLN Tool to evaluate your abilities
• A Unique Student Identifier (USI), find or get your USI here

You will be supplied with relevant and appropriate equipment including:

• adult and infant resuscitation manikins following ARC guidelines for the purpose of assessment of CPR procedures
• AED training devices
• personal protective equipment (PPE)

Our comprehensive online assessment is designed to evaluate your knowledge and skills through a variety of question formats. Expect a combination of multiple-choice, true/false, short answer, and video response questions. This diverse approach ensures a thorough understanding of the material, allowing you to demonstrate your competency effectively and conveniently from any location.

There are practical assessments to complete. You must complete and pass all assessments to complete the course and attain the certification.

During the practical assessment, you will need to demonstrate your ability to safely and effectively deal with a simulated emergency scenario. You will need to demonstrate your ability to safely and effectively rescue and resuscitate a person from an electrocution scenario in a simulated work environment. The rescue will be timed.

This will involve:

• Performing a risk assessment
• Isolating an electrical supply as appropriate to the scenario
• Removing a victim from a dangerous situation
• Using a fire blanket safely and effectively
• Following the DRSABCD process for resuscitation
• Performing 2 continuous minutes of CPR on an adult and child manikin
• Performing 2 operator CPR
• Reacting to a victim vomiting or regurgitating<.li>
• Safely applying an AED to a victim of cardiac arrest
• Preserving the scene of the incident
• Providing a verbal report of the incident to your trainer

This unit requires the pre-requisite HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which is included and delivered as an integral part of this course.

The Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) recommends that CPR competence (which is a core skill of this course), be refreshed at least every 12 months to stay current with best practice and guidelines. Because competency changes over time and requires regular updating, Nexa Training views RPL (which might accept older evidence) as not suitable for ensuring candidates have current, up-to-date CPR (and rescue) skills.

Accordingly RPL is NOT offered to candidates of this course.
