Course Overview
Cardiac arrest can occur without warning and immediate action is critical. Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of premature death in the UK. Early CPR combined with prompt use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) significantly increases survival rates.
The Level 2 Award in CPR & AED is a highly practical course designed to give learners the confidence, competence and skills required to respond effectively to cardiac emergencies. Delegates receive hands-on instruction in CPR techniques and AED operation, ensuring they can act quickly and safely when faced with a real-life incident.
No prior first aid qualification is required to attend this course. However, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends CPR and AED training is undertaken alongside Emergency First Aid at Work training for broader emergency response capability.
Successful learners receive a regulated FAA certificate valid for three years. Training includes classroom theory combined with realistic scenario-based practice to reinforce emergency response procedures.

Course Overview
The Appointed Person Course is designed for organisations where a full First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work qualification is not required based on risk assessment outcomes.
An appointed person is responsible for managing first aid arrangements within the workplace. This includes maintaining accident records, monitoring first aid supplies and equipment and acting as the point of contact for emergency services when required.
This course supports businesses operating in low-risk environments or those requiring additional compliance cover in larger organisations. It provides essential knowledge to ensure first aid procedures and equipment are correctly managed in line with Health and Safety Executive guidance.
It is important to note that employers must be able to demonstrate through suitable risk assessment that no qualified first aiders are required if relying solely on appointed persons. Where staff or visitors may have pre-existing medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart conditions or severe allergies, HSE guidance recommends having a fully qualified First Aid at Work trained individual available.
This course focuses on compliance awareness rather than hands-on emergency treatment and does not replace regulated first aid qualifications where these are required.
