Physical Requirements

It is important to note that there are physical standards which relate to the level of performance required when undertaking accredited training. 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.
For this course the student must be physically capable of performing uninterrupted CPR for at least 2 minutes on an adult CPR manikin placed on the floor.

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 basic oxygen scenario and task demonstrations to:
Check and use oxygen equipment
Administer supplemental oxygen using nasal prongs
Perform infant CPR
Perform adult CPR & defibrillation
Administer oxygen on recovery
Complete a written incident report
