Clinical content follows Resuscitation Council UK guidance, which was updated in 2025 — check that any course you book teaches the current sequence. The figures that matter most: compressions 100–120 a minute; depth 5–6 cm for an adult and for adolescents, at least one third of chest depth for children and infants, never more than 6 cm at any age, using the two-thumb technique for infants; 30:2 for adults, and 15:2 for a child or infant if you are trained in paediatric basic life support, after five initial rescue breaths. Choking is back blows then abdominal thrusts for an adult or child over one, but back blows then CHEST thrusts for an infant — abdominal thrusts are never used on a baby. PassNova's 181 questions follow the HSE First Aid at Work syllabus; the legal duty is to base provision on a first-aid needs assessment rather than a fixed ratio of first aiders.
