Basic Life Support Courses

Bespoke workshops designed for your individual team needs

Get the fundamentals right and develop your resuscitation skills in a dynamic, practical learning environment. Our Basic Life Support courses deliver resuscitation skills for health professionals (level 4) or non-clinical staff (level 2) in as little as 1.5 hours.

These courses are suitable for all health professionals and non-clinical staff requiring training and development in the skills to perform Basic Life Support within a healthcare context and participate as an effective member of a resuscitation team.

Not only are the fundamental skills of resuscitation taught but there is an emphasis on good team work practices and coordination of the skills and resources used in cardiac arrest and peri-arrest situations. Courses are delivered at a purpose built training facility or on-site at your facility.

Over 3,000 health professionals source their advanced life support & resuscitation training from our team every year!

Use the latest resuscitation simulation technology and train on-site or at a purpose built training facilities at Auckland City Hospital and our Head Office at Rosedale.

We really enjoyed yesterday’s CPR training in MacMurray Centre. My staff found it very detailed, useful and well delivered. Please pass on our compliments to your team.

Very interesting, practical scenarios made easy by instructors. Thoroughly enjoyed the scenarios and feel confident to deal with an emergency situation at work.

Great course for recapping previously learnt skills. and learning a few new ones. Course co-ordinator was very knowledgeable, approachable and happy to answer any questions It was a pleasure to take the session.

I attended the course on Saturday. It was exceptional. From the course instruction from Jonathan (along with Cathy and Billy) to the catering. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Jonathan was so very professional in his approach. He was punctual, informative, compassionate and receptive to all our needs. You have a great great team.

Very clear and informative. good use of educational simulations, and very helpful working in teams as we do at work. Thank you!

The session was great. Highly recommend this course. The simulations targeted our clinic which worked really well. I learnt so much and found it all really helpful. Thanks for a great session!

Billy was excellent, adapted the course to suit our team’s need. very interactive, plenty of hands-on experience. Excellent advice and tips. Really helpful session!

Great course – really liked the new scenario settings. Really appreciated how the instructor tailored it to our clinic setting. As usual, learnt something new and it was great to brush up on skills rarely used. I learnt heaps observing and participating!

Great course! Very informative, supportive, and the course material was tapered to our professional needs. Thanks Billy and Jonathan!

Great as always. Really enjoyed the course and fantastic instructors – keep up the good work.
