At JWC First Aid, we believe everyone should have the confidence to save a life. Our CPR training courses teach you how to perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and use an AED (automated external defibrillator), so you’re ready to act in those first crucial minutes.
All CPR and AED courses are led by our first aid training providers and will follow current Resuscitation Council UK guidelines. You can join an open course at one of our venues, or we can deliver CPR training onsite at your workplace, school or care home. We mainly train professionals in education, healthcare, care and sport, but our courses are open to anyone who wants to learn.
Every CPR and AED training course is practical from the start. You’ll spend most of your time on CPR manikins and AED training units, working through realistic cardiac arrest scenarios where you perform CPR and use a defibrillator together, just as you would in a real emergency.
We offer beginner, refresher and advanced levels, so you can choose the CPR training that fits your role and experience.
Every CPR and defibrillator (AED) course includes plenty of practice time, because when it comes to lifesaving, experience makes all the difference.
Our CPR course is perfect for anyone who wants to feel confident in an emergency. That includes:
Everyone who successfully completes our CPR and AED training receives a certificate confirming they’ve been trained to perform CPR and use a defibrillator in line with current Resuscitation Council UK guidelines. Your certificate shows its expiry date, and gives you recognised CPR certification for work, volunteering or your own peace of mind.
Many employers, schools, care providers and sports clubs ask staff to hold a current CPR certificate. If you need proof of training for your role, our certificate gives you exactly that.
CPR skills fade quickly without practice, so we recommend refresher training, even while your certificate is still valid. Our CPR refresher course updates you on any changes to the guidelines and gives you hands-on time with the manikins and AED trainers again, so your skills stay sharp and you’re ready to act.
Our trainers bring real emergency experience into every session, with a friendly, supportive approach so learners of all levels feel at ease.
CPR and a defibrillator do two different jobs, and a person in cardiac arrest needs both. CPR keeps oxygen flowing to the brain and vital organs. An AED can deliver a shock that gets the heart back into a normal rhythm. CPR on its own rarely restarts the heart, and a defibrillator can’t keep blood moving while it analyses and charges. That’s why the two need to be used together, and why we teach them together.
Many workplaces, schools and sports clubs now have a defibrillator on the wall, but staff often hesitate to use it because they’ve never practised. Our CPR and AED training changes that. You’ll practise the full sequence on manikins and AED training units: starting CPR, switching on the defibrillator, placing the pads, and going straight back to compressions after a shock.
You never know when you might need to save a life, but with the right training, you’ll know exactly what to do. Our CPR and defibrillator courses give you the confidence to act quickly and effectively in those crucial moments.
