Duration

The course lasts 7 hours.

  • At least 18 years of age,
  • No medical conditions preventing physical exercise (e.g. chest compressions on a manikin require considerable effort).

Outcomes upon completion

They demonstrate full competence in performing adult CPR and operating an AED. Additionally, they effectively apply first aid techniques for injuries specific to turbine operations.
