What do we need if the if the training is at our site?
Please provide a training room large enough for all delegates and the trainer, with space for practical CPR exercises using training manikins. The room will also need a table for the trainer’s laptop and a TV for the presentation. If a TV is unavailable, we can bring a projector, provided there is a plain wall to project onto.
What should delegates keep in mind?
The course includes a practical CPR exercise on a training manikin, which may require you to kneel on the floor. Please wear comfortable clothing and suitable footwear. If you may have difficulty working on the floor, let us know before the course so we can discuss your needs. The course also covers realistic emergency scenarios, which some people may find distressing.
