Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Course – Be Ready to Save a Life

The HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary course focuses on equipping participants with the capability to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation in line with guidelines. CPR is a vital part of the emergency first aid response, especially in incidents involving cardiac arrest, drowning, or other life-threatening emergencies.

You will gain hands-on training in:

• Recognising emergency situations and initiating a first aid response

• Conducting a primary assessment of the casualty

• Performing CPR 

• Using an automated external defibrillator (AED)

• Applying personal protective equipment (PPE)

• Understanding legal and workplace requirements in a care setting

HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary – What You’ll Learn

This first aid training course provides core competencies for anyone required to deliver cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as part of their role. It’s suitable for those in:

• Aged care and disability support

• Education and childcare

• Hospitality and construction

• Sport and recreation

• Health and community services

The knowledge required to confidently provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation includes:

• Basic human anatomy and basic emergency life support

• Recognition of abnormal breathing

• Safe use of AEDs

• CPR techniques using both mouth-to-mouth and mask-based methods

• Post-resuscitation care and reporting procedures

Participants will also become familiar with statutory or organisational policies, documentation, and incident debriefing.

First Aid Course with Face to Face Training for Practical Confidence

Our CPR course is delivered as face to face training, offering you the chance to build your confidence through real-time instruction and supervised practical demonstration. With a qualified first aid trainer, you’ll practise life-saving techniques in a supportive, hands-on environment using industry-standard equipment.

Unlike online first aid courses or non-accredited courses, ITeC Academy’s training is nationally recognised training, meaning you’ll receive a valid CPR certificate upon successful completion that meets workplace compliance requirements.

CPR Refresher Course – Keep Your CPR Qualification Current

The HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation unit is the required CPR refresher for anyone needing to renew their CPR certification. The Australian Resuscitation Council recommends refreshing CPR skills every 12 months to ensure you’re ready and confident in a real emergency.
