Additionally, you should be able to deliver at least one shock with the automated external defibrillator (AED) , demonstrate an ability to rotation of single rescuer operators with minimal interruptions to compressions, know how to respond appropriately in the event of regurgitation or vomiting and handing over to emergency services and associated activities

It is a requirement of the training that CPR for infants / young children be included. The Harness course provides practical instruction using infant manikins as the approach for infants is different compared with adults.
