Frequently asked questions

Does this online first aid, CPR, and AED awareness course qualify me to become a workplace first aider?

No. This e-learning course is designed to build knowledge and confidence in CPR and AED response. It does not qualify learners as designated workplace first aiders.

Why is this first aid, CPR and AED awareness eLearning course important?

Cardiac arrest can happen without warning, and early CPR and defibrillation significantly improve survival rates. This online course builds essential awareness of the chain of survival, CPR techniques, and safe AED use, helping learners respond confidently and appropriately while waiting for emergency services.

What topics are covered in this first aid, CPR and AED awareness e-learning course?

The eLearning course covers cardiac arrest recognition, the chain of survival, primary survey assessment, adult and paediatric CPR awareness, AED operation and safety, choking management, recognition of angina and heart attack symptoms, and hygiene considerations during resuscitation.
