Every year, around 30,000 people suffer from sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in the UK. The survival rate for these incidents is less than 1 in 10.
When cardiac arrests happen, AEDs – combined with CPR – give the victim the best chance of survival.
AED training provides individuals with medically proven knowledge that can be the difference between life and death when faced with a cardiac arrest.
This online AED course shows you how to spot the signs of cardiac arrest and use a defibrillator correctly in combination with CPR to help the victim. Knowing how to set up and operate an AED prepares you to act decisively in the critical minutes following a cardiac emergency. And with AED devices now mandatory in all state-funded schools in the UK, training on defibrillator use should be considered essential for workers in education.

AED stands for “automated external defibrillator.” It’s a portable device used to treat sudden cardiac arrest by sending an electric pulse or shock to the heart in an attempt to restore a normal heartbeat.

This awareness-level defibrillator training course covers essential AED knowledge and can be completed in around 15 minutes.
Your training certificate will be valid for three years from the issue date. It’s recommended that any health and safety course is repeated periodically to ensure that knowledge stays relevant.
CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) involves manual chest compressions and rescue breaths to maintain blood flow and oxygenation when the heart stops beating. An AED is used to administer an electric shock to normalise the heart’s rhythm.
During a cardiac arrest, combining CPR with the use of an AED significantly increases the likelihood of survival.
While AEDs are designed to be user-friendly and provide guided instructions, training can improve effectiveness and safety. People who have been trained to use an AED can react faster and make better decisions during an actual emergency.
