The course designed to provide delegates with knowledge, understanding and basic skills using the American Heart Association Heartsaver 1st Aid, CPR & AED Foundation course, so that they can function competently as first-response First Aiders in the PDO community and the community at large, whenever required.

In conformance with Internationally recognised standards, ensure delegates can:

• Diagnose and provide First Aid (1st Aid) treatment in accordance with AHA and Internationally recognised standards.
• Diagnose and provide cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in accordance with AHA and Internationally recognised standards.
• Diagnose when to use and provide aid with an Automatic External Defibrillator in accordance with AHA and Internationally recognised standards.

Create opportunities for delegates to apply First Aid diagnostic skills with CPR & AED treatment skills during simulations.
