To successfully complete this course, you must have the physical ability to set up and climb a ladder, safely lift objects weighing 20 kgs, and 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.

In addition you need:

*Persons who do not hold this qualification should enrol in LVR + CPR + Pre Requisite (for non-electricians).

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
