Basic Life Support and Safe Use of an Automated External Defibrillator – Level 2 Award

After a cardiac arrest, each minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces a casualty’s chance of survival by 10%. Despite being one of the UK’s leading causes of death, statistics reveal that a significant portion of the British public lacks awareness about the life-saving impact they can have by performing CPR and defibrillation.

Our qualification has been created to empower candidates with the skills essential for administering safe, prompt, and effective basic life support, along with the secure use of an AED during emergencies.

Considering an estimated 60,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur annually in the UK alone, it is crucial you are prepared.
