It also suits any workplace in Manchester that wants its team prepared to respond to a cardiac or respiratory emergency. No previous experience is required, and the session works equally well for first-timers and those refreshing their skills.
Assessment & certification
Learners are assessed through practical observation on the day, so there is no written exam to worry about. On successful completion, each participant receives a FAIB-accredited certificate, valid for one year (annual refresher recommended). Because most healthcare employers require annual refresher training, the certificate is ideal for keeping mandatory training up to date — ask us about regular refreshers for your team.
