Low voltage rescue prepares you to perform rescue from a live low voltage panel and provide immediate care until professional medical help arrives. Because an electric shock can lead to cardiac arrest, LVR is commonly paired with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) so you can act straight after the rescue.
Whether you’re an electrician, apprentice, rail worker or a team leader booking for the crew, this guide helps you choose the right LVR training course option fast—and get it locked in.
Learn essential low-voltage rescue skills with an Allens Training LVR training course. Allens Training has been delivering high-quality live low-voltage rescue training across Australia since 2003. Last year alone, we issued over 29,000 LVR certificates in the last 12 months.

View CourseIf your LVR has lapsed, don’t stress—we’ll help you get back on track fast so you can return to site with confidence.
Electrical workers and apprentices, teams in the Electrical Supply Industry, solar installers, maintenance staff working around switchboards, and spotters—plus some non-electrical worker roles on sites with LV risks (e.g. plant rooms, overhead lines and underground cables zones).
What trainees tell us:
“Online and face to face training is an excellent training package. The online information was clear and well presented. All aspects of the training were professional.”
Trainer experience: Many of our trainers have 10+ years in an electrical industry environment and teach using examples you’ll recognise from work.
Training course | Units | Who it suits | Delivery mode | Assessment tasks | Typical duration* |
LVR Only | UETDRMP018 Perform rescue | Workers current in CPR who need LVR refresh | Face to face (+ online theory in some classes) | Scenario practice + short theory assessment | Short practical session |
LVR & CPR (Most booked) | HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation + UETDRMP018 | Standard site requirement for many employers | Face to face (+ optional online component) | LVR scenarios + 2-minute CPR | Half-day to one day |
First Aid & LVR | HLTAID011 Provide First Aid + UETDRMP018 | New starters / full coverage | Face to face (+ online learning where offered) | First Aid + LVR practicals | About one day |
*Durations vary by class and venue.
Typical roles: electricians, electrical apprentices, ESI and rail teams (including rail work functions), solar installers, facilities and maintenance, plus designated spotters working around live low voltage equipment.
What you may need (varies by site and course):
Note for apprentices: If you’ve completed core units at TAFE, you may already meet the pre-requisite unit needs—check before booking.
For further information, follow your PCBU/employer policy and the Australian Resuscitation Council updates.
Assessment standard: You must show at least two minutes of uninterrupted adult CPR on a floor-placed manikin (five cycles of 30:2) and successfully complete all practical demonstration skills.
Plan for an annual refresher. Many sites will not accept out-of-date LVR or CPR.
If your first aid certificate (HLTAID011) and HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation are current, LVR Only — UETDRMP018 may suit. If CPR is due soon, do the combined class.
No. LVR needs practical demonstration skills assessed face to face. Some theory may be done as an online component.
Don’t panic—book the correct option and refresh. Until then, expect restrictions on certain tasks or site access.
Yes. Group bookings are available. We align examples to your plant, panels and procedures.
LVR Only is a short practical session; LVR & CPR runs half-day to a day; First Aid & LVR is about a day. Check your chosen date.
Many venues offer free onsite parking—check your booking confirmation.
