Overview

Competent CPR and AED response when seconds matter

CPR Training gives delegates the skills and knowledge to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) safely in emergency situations. It is a regulated, nationally recognised qualification combining theory and hands-on practice. Delivered on-site at your premises for up to 12 delegates. A closed course lets Opus tailor the scenarios to your sector and incident procedures.

Process

Three steps to a certified team

Pick the course, confirm a date, and we run the training. Every delegate leaves with a certificate - clear booking, clear agenda, no admin chase.

01

Scoped to your workplace

Opus confirms the roles delegates hold, your incident response arrangements and AED location before delivery. Scenarios used in training reflect your own environment so delegates leave ready to respond on site.
