Low Voltage Rescue + CPR
This course provides participants with the skills to manage the danger of accidental electrocution. It is primarily designed for electricians.
UPDATED: 26 October 2020
As of 29 October 2020, First Aid training at public venues in the Melbourne metropolitan area is open.
St John Ambulance Victoria will be reopening commercial training operations in the Melbourne metropolitan area in addition to regional Victoria, consistent with the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. Both onsite and public training is now available to book for all customers.
For the continued safety of staff and students additional measures are in place:
- Smaller class sizes capped at 8 students
- PPE including masks and gloves are available at our classes for students
- Temperature screening will take place for all people entering our training venues
- No contact first aid training: this means students will not be required to practice first aid techniques on other students or staff, only on themselves or a manikin. For example bandaging, CPR, recovery position and use of EpiPens will not be conducted on others. Students will be directed not to breathe into a manikin at this time.
- Increased cleaning of our equipment after every class
- Alcohol based hand sanitiser is available throughout the venue for use upon arrival, during class and departure
- We discard all bandages, dressings or other class consumables at the end of the class and they are not re-used
Importantly, those who meet the following criteria should not attend any St John Ambulance Training course:
- Those who are unwell or experiencing any flu-like symptoms
