What if I cannot get on my knees to perform CPR?

Options for participants unable to perform CPR on their knees.

You need to demonstrate a 2 minute continuous period of performing CPR on an adult manikin which must be placed on the floor (same with child manikin for those doing HLTAID012). CPR on infant manikins needs to be for 2 minutes on a firm surface.

According to government regulations if you cannot get on your knees to perform CPR, we will be unable to issue you with a Statement of Attainment bearing unit codes and names, although we can issue you with a simple Statement of Attendance.
