Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable, casual clothes and sensible shoes.
Participants 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. Participants must also demonstrate appropriate responses to a range of simulated first aid emergency situations.
The practical nature of this course means participants need to be able to kneel on the floor, sustain physical effort during CPR, and carry out first aid procedures throughout the assessment.
Anyone who has concerns about their ability to meet these physical requirements is encouraged to contact Highlands Training Solutions prior to enrolling so that their individual circumstances can be discussed.
