CPR & LVR Course Set Delivery
This course can be delivered/assessed in the workplace or at facility organised by the training provider.
Information about the Delivery Options is summarised in the Course Duration below, and more information can be found here.
+ Course Durations
Course durations can vary for multiple reasons, so the durations below are the minimum possible amount.
Online with face-to-face assessment - the online pre-course learning and theory assessment (1hrs) + face to face practicum (2-3hrs) is expected to take approximately 3-4 hours to complete (these timeframes are estimates). Individuals with prior experience in similar training may complete the online component in less time, while those new to the subject may need more time to complete all the learning content and theory questions.
If you are familiar with using computers and online training and assessment. Select this “Online with face to face assessment” course
Face-to-Face Face to Face contact time of at least 5 Hours (.5 days)
If you are unfamiliar with using computers and online training and assessment. Select this “face to face” course.
The theory + Incident Report is delivered face to face (multiple choice delivered verbally, with the learner marking answer in writing), during the course. Hence if learners would have difficulty completing a pre-course on-line assessment, or who’s learning style is more kinaesthetic or practical focused, this modality better suits these learners, and is the preferred modality when we deliver training on community.
More information can be found here.
+ Entry Requirements
Physical capability to be able to meet the demands of the practical demonstration skills including CPR (Important note: In order to issue an accredited certificate CPR must be performed on the floor and and rescue breathing techniques demonstrated on manikins, with no exemptions).

This Course Does Not Cover
This course is not for every electrical rescue need.
It does not cover:
- full first aid by itself
- high-voltage rescue
- overhead line rescue
- underground cable rescue
- confined space rescue
- specialist rail training
- site induction or permit training
- employer-specific electrical supply industry units
If your employer gave you exact wording, compare it with the unit codes on this page before you enrol.
Is This Course Right for You?
Course names can vary between employers. Unit codes matter because many site systems, portals, and workplace records check them.
An Alice Springs worker may need CPR & LVR for a new project, a remote maintenance run, a contractor file, or a site access requirement. A record can be rejected if it is missing, expired, listed under an old unit code, or missing CPR.
Before you pay for another course, check what the site needs. It may need CPR only, LVR only, CPR & LVR, full first aid, or proof of prior training.
This matters more in Central Australia because workers often cover more than one type of site. One week may involve a town facility. The next may involve a remote service job, a logistics yard, a health site, a school, or a construction project.
CPR Only, CPR & LVR, or First Aid?
Not every worker needs the same training. Some need CPR only. Some need low voltage rescue and CPR together. Others need a full first aid certificate as well.
| Situation | Course type to check | Common wording |
|---|---|---|
| Employer says “CPR only” | HLTAID009 | CPR refresher, annual CPR |
| Employer says “CPR & LVR” | HLTAID009 + UETDRMP018 | CPR LVR, LVR CPR, LV rescue and CPR |
| Employer says “first aid certificate” | HLTAID011, if required | First aid, workplace first aid |
| Working near live low voltage panels | UETDRMP018 + HLTAID009 | Rescue from a live LV panel |
| Working with overhead or underground assets | Separate training may be required | Overhead lines, underground cables |
| Site induction plus rescue training | Check site rules | Contractor portal requirement |
If your CPR is current but your LVR has expired, ask your employer what they will accept. Their rules may require LVR only, CPR & LVR, or a full course set.
Current Units
Redpath Education’s CPR & LVR course set includes two nationally recognised units.
HLTAID009 – Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
HLTAID009 covers CPR and AED use.
It also covers how to assess an emergency situation, stay safe, protect bystanders, and call emergency services.
Students must perform CPR in line with Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines.
UETDRMP018 – Perform Rescue From a Live Low Voltage Panel
UETDRMP018 teaches workers how to rescue someone from live low voltage electrical equipment.
It covers rescue from live low voltage electrical apparatus in an electrical work setting. The unit does not include overhead lines or underground cables.
Older LVR Unit Names
Some workers still see old wording in employer emails, portals, or past certificates.
Do not assume your site will accept an old code.
| Older wording you may see | What to check now |
|---|---|
| UETTDRRF004 | Ask whether UETDRMP018 is now required |
| UETTDRRF06B | Check the current site rule |
| “LVR” only | Confirm whether CPR is also required |
| “CPR LVR” | Confirm whether the units are HLTAID009 + UETDRMP018 |
| “LV rescue” | Ask whether CPR is included |
| “Electrical rescue” | Check whether this means low voltage rescue, high voltage, rail, ESI, or another rule |
If your site rejects your certificate, ask why. The issue may be the unit code, expiry date, CPR status, missing proof, RTO arrangement, or wrong course type.
Need Site Access Fast?
Many workers need CPR & LVR training fast. Their certificate may have expired. Their employer may need proof before a job starts. A remote work trip may be coming up.
To reduce delays:
- check the required unit codes
- book the correct course
- complete any online pre-course learning
- bring photo ID
- bring proof of prior training if requested
- attend the face-to-face practicum
- pass the theory and practical tasks
Redpath Education lists fast certificate turnaround as part of its CPR & LVR course offer. The safest path is still simple: book the right course, complete the pre-course work, bring the right ID, and pass the required tasks.
What Happens After Booking?
After booking, check your confirmation details.
It should tell you what to complete before class. It should also list where to go, what to bring, and whether online learning applies.
Before your session:
- complete all learning content if online learning is required
- check your arrival time
- arrive 10 minutes early
- bring photo ID
- bring your USI details
- bring a phone, laptop, or tablet for in-class assessments
- wear the right clothing
- bring any requested evidence
- contact Redpath Education if you are unsure about course needs
If you arrive without finishing the online learning, your assessment may be delayed.
What Training Covers
This course is practical training for electrical emergencies. You practise rescue steps, CPR, and emergency response in a mock setting.
Low Voltage Rescue Skills
Training covers:
- scene safety
- electrical hazards
- risk management
- safe approach to a casualty
- rescue from a live LV panel
- checking rescue equipment
- using an LVR kit
- isolation where safe
- moving a casualty away from danger
- recovery position
- communication during an emergency
The goal is to help workers respond without rushing into danger.
CPR and AED Skills
The CPR component covers:
- recognising an emergency situation
- checking response and breathing
- calling or directing emergency services
- performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation
- using an automated external defibrillator
- following Australian Resuscitation Council guidance
- caring for the person until professional medical help arrives
Students must perform CPR during assessment. Students complete 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR on the floor.
Rescue Equipment and Safety Practices
You may use or discuss:
- rescue crook or rescue hook
- insulated gloves
- fire blanket
- CPR mask
- AED trainer
- safety signage
- live LV panel rescue equipment
- personal protective equipment
Rescue equipment matters because electrical emergencies are rarely tidy. The power may still be live. A casualty may still be in contact with equipment. Bystanders may panic.
Good LVR training teaches the safest order of action.
Emergency Response Steps
A safer low voltage rescue response follows this order:
Assess the scene → isolate power where safe → use rescue equipment → move the casualty → check breathing → call emergency services → start CPR and AED use if needed → hand over to medical help → report the incident → check or replace used equipment.
This order supports workplace safety and helps workers think clearly under pressure.
In Alice Springs and remote work settings, this matters. Help may not be as close as it is in a metro area. Workers need to know what to do while waiting for professional medical help.
What to Wear
Redpath Education gives clear clothing guidance for this course.
Wear:
- hi-vis
- 100% cotton or flame-retardant clothing
- non-conductive clothing
- clothing that covers your body, arms, and legs
- enclosed footwear if listed in your booking details
Do not treat clothing as a small detail. Practical LVR training is linked to real electrical work risks, so arrive dressed for the course.
Common Booking Issues
Many students book CPR & LVR to update a site record. Others need to renew an expired certificate or meet an employer deadline.
These are common issues to check before you enrol.
Booking CPR Only
If your employer asks for both HLTAID009 and UETDRMP018, CPR alone is not enough.
Check both unit codes before you book.
Missing Online Learning
Some courses include online training before the practical session.
Complete the online pre-course learning before you attend.
Using an Old Certificate
Old certificates may show old LVR unit names.
If your site asks for current CPR & LVR training, confirm whether it requires UETDRMP018.
Confusing CPR With First Aid
HLTAID009 is CPR. It is not the same as HLTAID011 Provide First Aid.
If your employer asks for a first aid certificate, check whether you need first aid as well.
Not Being Ready for the Practical Tasks
CPR assessment includes practical skills.
Students perform CPR on the floor and complete a simulated LV panel rescue.
Assessment
Students must complete theory and practical tasks.
The written task may include questions about:
- low voltage rescue
- CPR
- risk
- safety rules
- rescue equipment
- AED use
- emergency response
The practical LVR task includes a mock rescue from a live low voltage panel.
You may need to:
- check the LVR kit
- spot hazards
- place rescue equipment
- move a casualty safely
Students must show CPR on the floor. Students may also need to show infant CPR and AED use.
Attendance alone does not guarantee a certificate. Students must complete all required tasks.
If the trainer marks you as not yet competent, they will explain the next steps. These steps follow the course assessment and reassessment process.
Physical and Learning Requirements
This course requires practical skills, communication, and suitable fitness.
Students need to be able to:
- kneel on the floor
- perform 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR
- move through a mock rescue task
- complete a simulated LV panel rescue
- use rescue equipment
- read safety information
- follow trainer instructions
- complete written tasks
- communicate during practical tasks
Students need enough English, reading, maths, digital, and visual skills.
They must be able to read signs, follow instructions, complete online learning, and respond during practical tasks.
If you have an injury, health concern, mobility limit, or support need, contact Redpath Education before booking.
You must complete some practical tasks to receive a certificate.
What to Bring
Bring:
- official photo ID
- USI details
- mobile phone, laptop, or tablet for in-class assessments
- device and internet access for online learning
- completed online pre-course learning, if required
- proof of prior training if requested
- water
- lunch or snacks if needed
- suitable clothing and PPE
Arrive 10 minutes early so the session can start on time.
CPR & LVR Training in Alice Springs
Redpath Education is based at:
45 Flynn Dr, Alice Springs NT 0870
Alice Springs is a regional service hub for Central Australia. Its workforce supports health, government, education, construction, logistics, tourism, remote services, maintenance, and community infrastructure.
That makes CPR & LVR training important for more than town-based work. A worker may support a government building one day and a remote site the next. A maintenance team may cover schools, health services, accommodation sites, fleet yards, or infrastructure across a wide area.
Alice Springs is also a car-based town. Workers and employers often need practical training that fits around full-time work, tools, vehicles, site travel, and shift needs.
Workplace and Remote Group Bookings
Redpath Education offers training for individuals, workplaces, small groups, and larger corporate classes.
The team can deliver training at:
- the Redpath training site
- workplaces
- client-organised locations
- regional locations
- remote communities, where arranged
Group CPR & LVR training may suit:
- electrical contractors
- maintenance teams
- facilities teams
- remote-service crews
- construction employers
- government contractors
- utilities teams
- accommodation and tourism operators
- logistics and fleet teams
- employers managing annual refreshers
Redpath Education can also work with after-hours needs and split day/night sessions where arranged. This can help teams who cannot take all staff off the job at once.
Employer Booking Checklist
Before booking several workers, prepare:
- staff names
- current CPR issue dates
- current LVR issue dates
- unit codes on existing certificates
- any site-specific wording
- preferred training window
- workplace address, for onsite training
- training room or clear practical space
- remote access or travel notes
- PPE or induction rules for the trainer
- invoice or purchase order needs
- known physical, language, or learning support needs
This helps Redpath Education guide your booking and reduce admin delays.
How Often Should You Renew?
Redpath Education lists a 12-month refresher period for both units:
- HLTAID009 – 12 months
- UETDRMP018 – 12 months
Many workplaces require CPR and LVR refreshers every 12 months. Rules can vary by employer, site, contractor portal, or industry.
Check your:
- employer requirement
- site induction requirement
- contractor portal
- licence or trade requirement
- certificate issue date
- CPR current status
- LVR current status
Book before your certificate expires to avoid work delays.
Why Choose Redpath Education?
Redpath Education is based in Alice Springs and has delivered training since 2011.
The business was founded by Saam Arbuthnot and Tony Spencer. Together, they bring decades of Central Australian experience across health, business, WHS, emergency response, remote delivery, and workplace training.
Saam is a Registered Nurse with more than 45 years of health service delivery experience. Her background spans urban, regional, and remote settings.
Tony has more than 50 years of business management experience. He has lived in Alice Springs since 1988 and has delivered programs across emergency response, WHS, medical emergency training, food handling, compliance, and risk management.
Shelby Spencer adds health, business, emergency management, security coordination, and communication experience.
That matters for CPR & LVR because Central Australian training is not the same as metro training. Workers may need to respond in hot, remote, isolated, or site-based conditions. Training needs to be clear, practical, and relevant to the work.
Redpath Education delivers face-to-face and online safety training for urban, regional, and remote locations. It can train small practical groups and larger workplace teams.
