- Be able to closely follow ARC guidelines.

- Adhere to the ARC’s instructions.
- Carry out at least 2 minutes of continuous CPR by yourself, including 5 cycles of chest compressions and breaths on a manikin on the ground.
- Operate an Automated External Defibrillator directed to give at least one shock.
- Maintain CPR with minimal breaks, even when switching rescuers.
- Attend to any vomiting or regurgitation quickly and safely.
- After the CPR, hand over the situation to emergency services and report events accurately.
- Reflect on the incident to gain insights from it.
- Stick to ARC guidelines.
- Conduct continuous CPR for a minimum of 2 minutes, completing 5 cycles of compressions and breaths on a manikin placed on a firm surface.
Achieving proficiency in these techniques is essential for successfully passing your assessment. The goal of this practical evaluation is to demonstrate your preparedness to deliver effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation during actual emergency situations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will There Be Wait Times on My Chosen Booking Day?

How Long Will My Assessment Take?
