Basic Life Support Training

Learn how to safely position an unconscious but breathing person in the recovery position to keep their airway clear and prevent aspiration.

Learn how to keep yourself safe and recognise the three types of blood loss: arterial, venous, and capillary.

You’ll also master how to apply direct pressure with elevation, identify the signs and symptoms of systemic shock, and understand how to manage bleeding effectively. This includes using dressings to minimise risk and support recovery.

Recognise the signs and symptoms of shock, and learn appropriate first aid interventions to stabilise the individual while waiting for emergency services.

Gain hands-on experience in the D.R.S.A.B.C. procedure, including assessing responsiveness, calling emergency services, and maintaining the airway (with the jaw thrust method).

Learn to monitor vital signs, perform CPR for adults, juniors, and babies, and understand when and how to use an Ambu bag and an AED (automated external defibrillator).

Identify the potential causes of unconsciousness, including head injuries, and learn how to provide appropriate care and monitoring to prevent further complications.

Learn to recognise and manage choking in adults, children, and infants. This module includes hands-on demonstrations of back blows and the Heimlich manoeuvre to help clear an obstructed airway effectively.
