CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) TRAINING AND AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR (AED) AWARENESS- TEACHER PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITY

In March 2022, legislation came into effect stating that cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) must be included in the minimum statutory content in Learning for Life and Work at Key Stage 3. CCEA has partnered with the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS), the Department of Education (DE) and the Education Authority to create the Community of Lifesavers Education Programme to support schools in meeting this requirement.

As part of the Community of Lifesavers Education Programme, two teachers from Post Primary settings who have not yet attended this training are invited to attend a 1 day, face-to-face TPL which will focus on the practical and essential CPR and AED lifesaving skills. Sub cover will be provided and schools  will be reimbursed after attendance (when booking a supply teacher on NISTR choose - Miscellaneous School Charge/Cost).

Please note this training is for teachers who teach Learning for Life and Work at Key Stage 3.

A limit of two teachers per school will be applied. 

Applications will be taken on a first come first serve basis.

Please use 'Book Now' green button to select and book a training date. Training runs from 9.15am-3.30pm.
