NZRC CORE Immediate
This course is for rescuers who might be expected to manage the early stages of cardiac arrest. Certification requires the learner to demonstrate a standard of simulated practical skills facilitated by self-directed learning before the course (one week minimum), face-to-face training and formal skills assessment.
