Course overview
Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is a short course designed to develop the knowledge and skills required to provide basic life support measures in an emergency. The single most important determinant of survival from a sudden cardiac arrest is the presence of a trained rescuer who is ready, willing, and able to act.
This CPR course is well-suited for individuals across the community who may need to perform CPR in various scenarios, encompassing both community and workplace environments.

Participants will acquire the knowledge and assurance needed to perform CPR on adults, children, and infants.
The course covers essential topics such as the DRSABCD action plan and appropriate responses to emergency situations, handling unconscious casualties, performing CPR, and utilising a defibrillator (AED).
This course is taught by an experienced Paramedic with over 20 years of experience. Chris has a Diploma of Paramedical Science, a Bachelor of Nursing and a Cert 4 training and Assessment.
Participants will engage in interactive group sessions and discussions in an environment that provides realistic in-depth, scenarios and simulations.

12 Months. The time is calculated from when a student is provided with online access to their assessment. Within the accessIQ platform, students will be provided an initial 12 months to complete and submit all required assessment activities. Friendly email reminders will be sent to students to ensure an assessment is completed on time. At the completion of the 6 month period, students can request up to a maximum of 2 extensions, each extension being for a period of 90 days. If requesting a second extension, the request must be in writing.
If the entire 12 month period expires and a final assessment has not been submitted, The Benchmarque Group reserves the right to deem the assessment Not Competent and remove the student from the program.
If you are deemed Not Yet Competent on your first and second assessment submissions, feedback will be provided. It is very important that you read all the feedback provided. The Assessor will have identified any areas where additional evidence is required or any questions that need to be reviewed and resubmitted. If, after 3 unsuccessful submissions, you are unable to demonstrate competency on your assessment, your assessment will be deemed Not Competent. Feedback will be provided to you and what the possible following steps and outcomes are.
At the completion of the program, successful students will receive a Statement of Attainment for the Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) (Course Code HLTAID009). A Statement of Attainment is issued when an individual has completed one or more accredited units.
