Basic Life Support training aims to train the community (non-health professionals) in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the simple airway approach (AAL) and safe automatic external defibrillation, enabling them to approach teachers in cardiac arrest until a resuscitation team arrives and to participate as members of that team.

At the end of the training, trainees will be able to:

  • Perform the approach and stabilisation of the critical patient;
  • Identify respiratory arrest and cardiac arrest;
  • Demonstrate competence in performing BLS manoeuvres;
  • Perform the airway approach;
  • Demonstrate competence in performing automatic external defibrillation safely.


Anyone interested in Basic Life Support except those with a Licence or Master's degree in Medicine and Nursing graduates.
