If you're considering booking CPR and AED training for your organization for the first time, knowing what to expect helps you prepare your team and get the most value from the session.
Recognizing an Emergency
Sessions typically begin by teaching participants how to quickly recognize the signs of cardiac arrest and distinguish it from other medical emergencies, since knowing when to act is the first — and most time-sensitive — step.
Hands-On CPR Practice
Rather than lecture-only content, effective training includes genuine hands-on practice using training manikins — correct hand placement, compression depth, and rate delivered to the rhythm most instructors teach using a familiar beat for pacing.
AED Operation, Start to Finish
Participants practice the complete sequence: switching the device on, correctly placing pads, and following voice prompts through shock delivery and continued compressions — using a training AED that mirrors real devices without delivering an actual shock.
Realistic Scenario Practice
Good sessions include simulated scenarios so staff experience the pressure and decision-making of a real event in a controlled setting, building genuine confidence rather than just theoretical knowledge.
Certification
Most corporate sessions conclude with a recognized certification, valid for a set period, giving your organization documented proof of staff readiness.
Group Sizes and Scheduling
Sessions can typically be scheduled on-site at your workplace, sized to fit your team, and timed around your operational hours to minimize disruption.
