Overview

The Provide First Aid (PFA) and LVR training courses are structured to be complementary, with PFA serving as foundational knowledge for the more specialised LVR training. The PFA course covers a broad range of first aid procedures, from basic CPR to using first aid equipment and completing incident documentation. After mastering these essential first aid skills, participants move on to the LVR course, which focuses on the specific requirements for rescuing someone from a live LV panel, including preparation, execution, and post-rescue assessments.

Central to both courses is Real Response's simulation-enhanced learning approach. This method is particularly effective for knowledge retention and instilling confidence in participants. By creating realistic emergency scenarios, we enable participants to apply their skills in a controlled environment, better preparing them for real-world situations. As of October 2023, the unit 'UETDRRF004 - Perform rescue from a live LV panel' has been updated to 'UETDRMP007 - Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel,' and now includes an additional prerequisite requiring evidence of an existing ESI of Electrotechnology qualification for enrolment.

This course involves the rescue procedures from live low voltage apparatus and the skills needed to provide CPR to a casualty, as separate distinct skills that are required for working around electrical assets. Both components cover equipment and practical methods for first aid and rescue operations.
The CPR and LVR training courses at Real Response are designed to be taken sequentially, as completion of the CPR course is a prerequisite for the LVR training. The CPR module covers key competencies such as recognising emergency situations, ensuring safety, and performing CPR in accordance with ARC guidelines. Once participants have successfully completed the CPR course, they proceed to the LVR training, which delves into specialised rescue procedures from live LV panels, including preparation, execution, and post-rescue protocols. A cornerstone of our training approach is the use of simulation-enhanced learning. This method has been shown to significantly improve knowledge retention and build confidence. By mimicking real-world conditions through role-play, realistic scenarios, and hands-on equipment use, participants are better prepared to handle actual emergencies. As of October 2023, the unit 'UETDRRF004 - Perform rescue from a live LV panel' has been updated to 'UETDRMP007 - Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel' and now includes an additional prerequisite requiring evidence of an existing ESI or Electrotechnology qualification for enrolment.
The combined Provide First Aid (PFA) and Electrical Supply Industry (ESI) course is designed to equip you with a comprehensive set of skills that meet the requirements of both HLTAID011 and UETDRMP010 (Formerly UETDRRF007). This course covers everything from recognising and assessing emergency situations to applying appropriate first aid procedures, all in line with industry standards. What elevates our training is the integration of simulation-enhanced learning techniques. This hands-on approach focuses on the most common first aid and ESI-specific scenarios you're likely to encounter. The goal is to ensure that you're not only knowledgeable but also confident and prepared to act effectively in real-world emergencies.
