Choice of Emergency Response First Aid Course Delivery
Because good training is not ‘one size fits all’, Skills Training College offers a range of teaching methods. Each of these methods has elements that will appeal to different people. It means that you can choose whatever method suits your learning style best.
Where can emergency first aid response take your career?
- Our emergency first aid response course is the latest nationally accredited qualification in this area. Most importantly, the course is a requirement for working in childcare. As well as basic first aid, the course also covers emergency first aid.
This course is perfect for educators, teachers and outside of school hours care (OSHC) workers who wish to become a:
- WHS Representative
- First Aid Officer
How do you deliver the emergency first aid response course?
This childcare and education first aid course can be in a classroom or at your workplace. The trainer goes through the course material with the group and you have to answer multiple-choice questions about it. To back up the theory, there are practical demonstrations. But it’s not just show and tell, with you getting hands-on training in using inhalers, EpiPens and defibrillators.
Before you attend the face-to-face training session, you must complete some pre-course reading and a quiz in your own time and at your own pace. We email you the quiz and reading material when you enrol.
Note: Please read the Skills Training College Student Handbook before enrolling.
What will you learn in the Provide First Aid in an education and care setting course?
This course teaches you basic first aid and how to respond in an emergency. To equip you for emergencies, there is training in how to perform CPR. This involves practising on 3 sorts of manikin – adult, child and infant. That is so you get useful and realistic training in the crucial differences between infants and adults. You will also use the manikins to learn about and practise using an AED defibrillator.
Bandaging Techniques
Apart from CPR, you will also learn how to to deal with bites and stings. For instance, these days you treat snakebite by putting on a pressure bandage, so we show you how, and get you to try it. The course also covers a range of other bandaging techniques for cuts and burns.
