Elective Units
Learner training is supported through the provision of quality learning materials and resources. All equipment and consumables are supplied as part of the course.
Learners are encouraged to wear comfortable, casual clothes and sensible shoes.
Learners must be physically capable of performing hands-on assessment tasks. This includes performing uninterrupted CPR for a minimum of 2 minutes on an adult manikin placed on the floor, and a further 2 minutes on an infant manikin placed on a firm surface. Learners must also demonstrate appropriate responses to a range of simulated first aid emergency situations.
The practical nature of this course means learners need to be able to kneel on the floor, sustain physical effort during CPR, and carry out first aid procedures throughout the assessment.
Learners who have concerns regarding their ability to meet these physical requirements are encouraged to contact Highlands Training Solutions prior to enrolment to discuss their individual circumstances and any reasonable adjustments that may be available, provided these do not compromise the requirements of the training product.
