Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Course

Did You Know?
Cardiac Arrest is the biggest killer in this country. Over 150,000 die as a result. The majority could have been saved if a defibrillator was made available. Automated External Defibrillators (AED’s) are now becoming more common throughout a range of workplaces. The scientific evidence to support early defibrillation is overwhelming, the single most determinant of survival being the delay from collapse to delivery of the first shock. The chances of successful defibrillation decline at a rate of 7-10% with each minute. Basic life support may help to sustain a shockable rhythm but is not a definitive.

This is a short course aimed at people who have already been awarded a First Aid qualification and just want to upskill in the safe use of an Automated External Defibrillation (AED). Some necessary theory, backed up with practical sessions. It gives students the skills, knowledge and experience to safely use an A.E.D and also enhances their confidence of basic CPR skills. .

“We have been working with Mark and his team for many years, and he is a consummate professional. He shows real empathy for both guest and client, offering sound and clear advice. Not only does he cover our large Bonfire and Firework Events, but offers excellent First Aid Training”

Ryan W, Rugby First Ltd

“I have used Mark and Tolan Training for a number of training courses and a number of events, I cannot praise Mark and his team highly enough, they are professional, friendly, and reliable amongst lots of other things, the feedback I’ve had off people that have attended his courses haven’t stopped telling me how great the course was even to this day, the event provision was brilliant with Mark providing detailed event plans and also attending Safety meetings before the event.
I cannot stress highly enough how much I recommend this company for any provision you might require!”

Leigh

Mark came to our offices to provide first aid training on Friday, everyone in the group all agreed that the course was really informative. Some of us had completed the training course before elsewhere and said that this course provided a lot more information that we weren't aware of. I will continue to use Tolan Training LTD for all of our needs.

Rachel

Tolan first aiders have worked at our annual fireworks display for a few years now.
From the initial inquiry to the event they are incredibly efficient and genuinely helpful.
It is a huge piece of mind knowing that you have expert medical cover on hand.

Judith

I did the CPR & AED training yesterday. I’ve had similar training before but was due for re-training. Mark’s approach was interactive, he used a variety of ways to get the message across and this ensured everyone knew what to do before we had our practical assessment. His training method is refreshing!
