Course Overview

Automated External Defibrillator training could help you save a life one day. An AED is a small device that checks a person’s heart rhythm and can give a controlled shock if needed. This shock can restart a normal heartbeat during a cardiac arrest. Every second counts in an emergency, and knowing how to use an AED gives you the confidence to act fast.

This online course is designed for anyone who wants to learn this life-saving skill. You don’t need any medical background to take part. Whether you work in an office, a school, a gym, or you simply want to protect your family, this training gives you clear, practical knowledge. You’ll learn how an AED works, when to use one, and how it fits alongside CPR during an emergency. By the end, you’ll understand exactly what to do if you’re ever faced with a cardiac emergency, and why having an AED nearby matters so much.
