Online resuscitation refresher course

The College recognises that many will have had difficulties attending an in-person resuscitation course due to COVID. The PSC has approved, for 2022 only, an online resuscitation course for those needing to complete the resus refresher training. We are working with ResuscitationSkill to provide the online training.

You will need to book and pay for the course directly with ResuscitationSkills, and the anticipated cost is around $150. It will be a modular course taken at your own pace. Upon completion, you will receive a certificate which you should load to UCCIS.

We apologise that the online resus course is not yet available. We had initially been advised it would be ready in late April. We are still awaiting the final confirmation from the company that it is ready to go. We will update everyone as soon as the course is ready to access.
