About this training
A request for CPR training should identify who needs to participate and how practical skills will be taught and assessed. Employers can discuss response priorities, chest compressions, rescue breaths and defibrillator use with a prospective provider. Safety Training Finder provides the connection service and does not deliver training or assess participants.
Where delivered by an appropriately authorised provider, a proposed CPR course may include nationally recognised training. If presented as nationally recognised, verify the organisation and its scope on training.gov.au. The provider must confirm the exact unit or qualification offered, their credentials, practical assessment requirements and availability before any booking is agreed.

Frequently asked questions
What unit will participants be enrolled in?+
The actual provider must confirm the exact unit or qualification offered, credentials and availability. Where nationally recognised training is proposed through an appropriately authorised provider, verify the organisation and its scope on training.gov.au before booking.
What physical participation is involved?+
Ask the actual provider to explain practical demonstrations, equipment use and assessment conditions for the proposed course. Discuss participant access needs early, and confirm provider credentials, available adjustments and session availability without assuming assessment requirements can be changed.
Can CPR be booked separately from broader first aid?+
You can request a separate CPR course and ask how it relates to other workforce training. The actual provider must confirm the exact course scope, their credentials, assessment requirements and availability before you make booking arrangements.
