CPR Refresher Course

CPR Refresher Course

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is one of the most important life-saving skills anyone can learn. In the event of a sudden cardiac arrest, immediate CPR can significantly increase a person’s chance of survival while waiting for emergency medical services to arrive. However, CPR is a practical skill that requires regular practice to maintain confidence, accuracy and effectiveness.

At Accidental Education, our CPR Refresher Course is designed for individuals and organisations that want to maintain their CPR skills through practical, hands-on training. Using realistic emergency scenarios and modern training equipment, participants refresh their knowledge of current Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines while reinforcing correct CPR techniques and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) use.

Whether you work in a corporate office, school, childcare centre, healthcare facility, sporting club, aquatic centre, construction site or community organisation, our CPR refresher training helps ensure you are prepared to respond confidently when every second counts.

Why Complete a CPR Refresher Course?

CPR is a skill that can deteriorate over time without regular practice. During a cardiac emergency, confidence and muscle memory are just as important as theoretical knowledge.

Regular CPR refresher training helps participants:

  • Maintain life-saving CPR skills

  • Build confidence during emergencies

  • Refresh knowledge of current Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines

  • Improve CPR quality and technique

  • Reinforce correct AED use

  • Improve emergency decision-making

  • Strengthen teamwork and communication

  • Support workplace compliance

  • Increase emergency preparedness

  • Improve patient survival outcomes

Regular practice ensures responders are ready to act immediately during a cardiac emergency.
