Oxygen and Defibrillation Courses can be run as separate
programmes, as a part of refresher training or as a supplement to
workplace training.
Our Oxygen Course is ideal to supplement workplace training
where risks may include incidents, illnesses or trauma where oxygen
is highly desirable. The module teaches participants to recognise
circumstances where emergency oxygen will be beneficial, to
administer emergency oxygen to both breathing and non-breathing
patients, to understand the hazards associated with oxygen use and
to practice safe handling techniques.
Our AED course deals specifically with the knowledge and skills
needed to apply and operate an Automated External Defibrillator
(AED) on a patient in cardiopulmonary arrest. The goal of the
training is to help gain the core knowledge, skills and confidence
necessary to provide effective emergency care using an AED until
professional medical care is available.
The Oxygen and Defibrillation courses meet all the requirements
of NZQA unit standards 25411.
Who should attend
Individuals who are designated workplace first aid officers or
individuals that wish to increase their first aid knowledge and
skills or individuals who work in environments where the
administration of emergency oxygen may be required. The
pre-requisite for this course is a current workplace first aid
certificate.

can be completed in a shorter timeframe if candidates are deemed to
be competent in the required skills.
