The course is built around the basic life support sequence rather than around a product. Delegates work through each step in the order it happens in an emergency, because the sequence is what holds under stress. - **Recognition:** unresponsive casualty, absent or agonal breathing, checked over no more than ten seconds. - **Call and send:** 999 or 112, ambulance service AED location code, second responder dispatched for the nearest unit. - **Compressions:** centre of the chest, depth of 5 to 6 centimetres, rate of 100 to 120 per minute, full recoil between compressions. - **Pad placement:** right of the sternum below the clavicle and left mid-axillary line below the armpit, on dry bare skin. - **Shock delivery:** stand clear, oxygen and metal contact removed, shock delivered on voice prompt, compressions resumed immediately. - **Handover:** downtime, shock count and casualty history passed to the ambulance crew. Life-threatening bleed control is now trained on every course we run, so delegates leave able to manage catastrophic haemorrhage as well as cardiac arrest. **Call Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training on 07771 680794 for a free quote on Defibrillator AED Training in High Wycombe, delivered at your premises with manikins and AED trainer units supplied.** [Call Now: 07771 680794](tel:07771680794) ## Workplace Use of an AED for High Wycombe Homes Most of the buildings we work in around High Wycombe are ordinary working premises rather than clinical settings: converted houses used as offices, care and supported living properties, nurseries in residential conversions, small factory units on the trading estates, gyms, salons and village halls. The shape of the job in a building like that is set by the layout, not the industry. In a three-storey converted house with a cabinet-mounted AED in the ground floor hallway, a collapse on the second floor means a runner, a stair route and a delay. We walk that route with your staff during the session. The training addresses the practical detail of your own premises, which is why it is delivered at your address. - **Unit siting:** a target retrieval time that keeps the round trip under three minutes from the furthest occupied point. - **Cabinet type:** unheated internal cabinets for indoor use, heated and locked cabinets where the unit is mounted externally. - **Consumables:** adult pad sets, paediatric pads or a paediatric attenuator key where under-eights are present, spare battery, shears, razor and towel. - **Checks:** weekly rescue-ready indicator inspection, recorded pad and battery expiry dates, post-use replacement of the pad set. - **Registration:** the unit logged with the ambulance service so it can be directed to by call handlers. Those specifics matter because an AED that is locked in a cupboard, out of date or unregistered is not part of your emergency response. We cover this for your workplace as part of the session. ## CPR and Defibrillator Practice in High Wycombe Practice is the bulk of the course. Delegates work in small groups on adult manikins with a compression depth indicator and on AED trainer units that mirror the voice prompts, pad geometry and shock timing of the live models found in workplaces. The practice sequence runs as follows. First, compression technique alone until depth and rate are consistent. Second, compressions with rescue breaths at a ratio of 30 to 2. Third, the AED introduced mid-cycle so delegates learn to keep compressions going while a colleague opens the case and attaches pads. Fourth, full scenarios with a shockable rhythm and a non-shockable rhythm, so the response to "no shock advised" is drilled as thoroughly as the shock itself. Our [aed training](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/first-aid-training/aed-training/) keeps hands-off time to a minimum, because interruption to compressions is what costs survival. Trainers are in-house and never outsourced. Rebecca leads the training team, which means the content of the practical work is consistent from one session to the next. ## Booking Enquiry and Course Delivery The booking process is short. You tell us the address, the number of delegates and the make of AED on site if you already have one. We confirm a date, bring the manikins, trainer units and pads, and deliver the session in a room you provide. - **Enquiry:** call 07771 680794 with delegate numbers and your preferred window. - **Site detail:** room size, floor space for manikin work and any specific AED model confirmed. - **Confirmation:** date, start time and delegate list agreed in writing, with a free quote provided beforehand. - **Delivery:** training at your premises, equipment supplied by us. - **Certification:** certificates issued to delegates who complete the assessment. All training is delivered at your own premises. We do not run open scheduled sessions for individual delegates, which keeps the content tied to your building and your equipment. Aim2Aid Ltd is registered at 70 Fountain Gardens, Windsor, Berkshire SL4 3SX, company number 16319053. ## Who the Course Is For No previous first aid training is required. The course is written for complete beginners and works equally as a refresher for existing first aiders whose skills need bringing back up to standard. - Appointed persons and nominated first aiders in offices, units and retail premises. - Care, supported living and domiciliary staff working in residential-style properties. - Nursery, school and after-school staff, where paediatric pad use is covered. - Gym, leisure and sports club staff, where exertional cardiac arrest is a recognised risk. - Volunteer groups and committees responsible for a community AED. Delegates need to be able to kneel and deliver compressions at floor level, or work from a raised platform where kneeling is not possible. Tell us at booking and we adapt the practical to the delegate. ## Course Content and Practical Assessment Assessment is continuous and practical rather than written. The trainer observes each delegate through a full unwitnessed collapse scenario and signs off against defined criteria. - Scene safety checked and danger to the responder identified. - Unresponsiveness and abnormal breathing confirmed within ten seconds. - Emergency services called and an AED requested without abandoning the casualty. - Compressions at 5 to 6 centimetres depth and 100 to 120 per minute, sustained for two minutes. - Pads placed correctly on the first attempt, chest prepared where needed. - Clear-and-shock instruction given audibly, compressions resumed within the prompt window. - Severe bleed managed with direct pressure and dressing. Delegates who need a second attempt at any element get it inside the session. If you need defibrillator aed training in High Wycombe or [first aid at work in High Wycombe](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/resources/first-aid-at-work-high-wycombe/), we cover the whole area, and the assessment standard is the same for your staff either way. ## Course Format and Duration The AED and CPR session is a short course, typically half a day, for groups of up to 12 delegates, delivered at your premises with all manikins and trainer units supplied. Group size is capped so every delegate gets repeated hands-on time on both the manikin and the AED trainer. Blended delivery is available as an option: the theory is completed online by each delegate in advance and the practical element is then delivered face to face at your venue. Where the training is booked as part of Emergency First Aid at Work, that course runs as one day of about six hours for up to 12 delegates and carries a 3-year certificate, and the blended route keeps the practical on site while moving the theory online. If you need defibrillator aed training in High Wycombe or a paediatric first aid course in High Wycombe, we cover the whole area. ## Certification and Compliance Successful delegates receive a certificate valid for 3 years, recognised by HSE, Ofsted and the DfE. Our first aid courses are accredited by FAIB; our mental health courses are accredited by FAA. The two are kept separate and are not interchangeable. The [Health and Safety Executive](https://www.hse.gov.uk/simple-health-safety/firstaid/first-aid-training.htm) requires employers to base first aid provision on a needs assessment of the workplace, and AED training sits inside that assessment where a unit is held on site. Keep the certificate, the training record and the AED check log together, since an inspector will usually ask for all three. We recommend annual refresher practice between certificate renewals, because compression quality decays faster than knowledge does. We train across High Wycombe, throughout Berkshire and surrounding areas.
