Course title


Responding to incidents with an AED – Level 3 Award

Course description


This qualification is for those that require additional training in basic life support and safe use of an AED. Many attendees are those working in environments that have an AED available, such as Gyms and public places such as shopping centres, transport hubs etc. The qualification can also be used by staff working in Doctors and Dentists practice as part of annual training.
The qualification has also been designed as the perfect add-on to standard first aid courses where learners are typically only required to understand how to attach the AED pads and follow instructions. This qualification builds on that knowledge to provide a wider undertstanding of using this work equipment as required by workplace regulations.
