Overview

Welcome to CNA

About the Course

A focused, hands-on session covering the two skills that matter most in the first minutes of a cardiac emergency: chest compressions and using an Automated External Defibrillator.

Unlike the fuller BLS course, this session is built for non-clinical staff and members of the public who want to be able to act — confidently and correctly — before emergency services arrive, without the broader airway-management and clinical-context content aimed at healthcare professionals.

What You Will Learn

01
Recognising cardiac arrest:

the signs that call for immediate CPR rather than waiting to observe

02
High-quality chest compressions:

correct hand placement, depth, and rate, practised on training manikins

03
AED operation:

turning on, applying pads correctly, and following an AED's prompts safely

04
Team response:

coordinating with others present — calling for help, alternating compressions, and preparing the AED
