Numeracy and Literacy

Language, literacy, and numeracy requirements are needed to undertake this course. This is assessed through Shield Education’s pre-enrolment LLN assessment. Specifically, students would need the ability to:

  • Prepare verbal incident reports or provide information to enable preparation of an incident report (e.g., report details of incident)
  • Communicate effectively and assertively in an incident (e.g., handing over to emergency services)
  • Use literacy and numeracy skills as require reading, interpret, and apply guideline and protocols (e.g., read and follow ARC guidelines)

*Students who fail the LL&N assessment may still be enrolled to the course if endorsed by the trainer/assessor, and corresponding additional support strategies are in place

**Physical attributes requirements

Each of the units of competency that this strategy applies to specifies that students must, among other things, be able to perform at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (5 cycles of both compressions and ventilations) on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor, to be deemed as competent. They also must be able to perform at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer CPR (5 cycles both compressions and ventilations) on an infant resuscitation manikin placed on a firm surface.

Students must also be able to perform manual handling tasks safely. Therefore, prospective students need to have the physical attributes to be able to:

  • Bring themselves to floor level to perform the above task.
  • Perform each of the above tasks uninterrupted for two minutes.
  • Have the physical capacity to perform manual handling tasks safely.
