About this course

Learn to recognise cardiac arrest, call 999, give high-quality CPR to an adult, a child or a baby, use a defibrillator (AED), and help someone who is choking. Seven short modules, then a 12-question test. This is an online-only course: it doesn't meet the HSE's requirements for First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work training.

Who it's for: Parents, carers, coaches, volunteers and anyone who wants to be ready to help or refresh their skills.
