 This course provides practical training for workers within an education and care setting to respond to first aid emergencies in line with legal and workplace requirements, Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and other Australian national peak clinical bodies.

You will learn basic anatomy, physiology, and the differences between adults, children, and infants relating to CPR, managing an infant or child with an acute illness, or who requires an immediate ambulance response, and conveying incident details to parents, caregivers, and emergency services.

The course covers completing incident documentation and debriefing for improvement of response, recognising psychological impacts, talking with children about their emotions and seeking help as required.
