It is recommended this unit be renewed every 12 months in line with industry standards. Locate the most current training package at training.gov.au 

Certification:
Students who successfully complete this nationally recognised training will be awarded the statement of attainment: HLTAID007 Provide Advanced Resuscitation
Certificate valid for 12 months as per industry standard. A refresher course is recommended every 12 months

Physical Requirements
It is important to note that there are physical standards which relate to the level of performance required when undertaking accredited training. The HLTAID competency standards require a level of physical ability to provide resuscitation and respond to an emergency situation where there may be risk to life.

One requirement of the training package is that you are to be assessed as physically capable of performing uninterrupted CPR for at least 2 minutes on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor and on an infant resuscitation manikin placed on a firm surface. 

There can be no exceptions to these Australian Government requirements that are clearly written into the Training Package. Therefore, students who are unable to satisfy the physical requirements of the course cannot be deemed competent or issued with a statement of attainment, even if the qualification is a necessary part of their employment conditions.

Pre-requisites:
Nil

Standards: The course complies with policy advice from the Australian Resuscitation Council

ASSESSMENT – PRACTICAL

Physical demonstrations (skills)

The simulated assessment environments will reflect the real-life working environment where these skills and knowledge would be performed, with all the relevant equipment and resources of that working environment.  Skills must be demonstrated by the student working individually in an environment that provides realistic in-depth, industry-validated scenarios and simulations to assess students’ skills and knowledge.

It’s important that students have knowledge of the content of this course. The assessable practical skills are listed below.

You will be assessed on performing first aid scenario and task demonstrations for:

- Recognise an emergency and make the scene safe
- Perform CPR on an infant
- Perform CPR & defibrillation on an adult
- Assess and monitor a casualty
- Locate workplace policies and procedures
- Administer oxygen for the unconscious
- Administer oxygen for the conscious
- Fill out an incident report
- Verbally report an incident debrief
- Check, maintain and clean equipment ready for future use
