First Aid Course Online

What’s involved in the Provide First Aid Course Online?

The HLTAID011 Provide First Aid online course teaches you basic emergency life support and CPR. As well as this, there is basic training for dealing with things such as fractures, snakebites and asthma.

You have to show that you understand and can do all of this:

• Manage someone who is unconscious and not breathing by putting them in a position that keeps their airway clear 
• Perform CPR on an adult manikin for 2 minutes without stopping. 
• Use an automated external defibrillator (AED) to deliver one shock at least 
• Help someone else give CPR, keeping interruptions to a minimum
• Know how to deal with vomiting
• Do 2 minutes of CPR on an infant manikin
• Understand how to manage these conditions: bleeding choking, asthma, anaphylaxis, shock, fractures, dislocations, sprains and strains.
• Use pressure bandaging for snakebite
• Minor wound dressing and cleaning 
• How to use personal protective equipment (PPE)
• Effectively communicate details to emergency services
• Prepare a written incident report

We teach and assess a lot of this online, but things such as CPR and bandaging are dealt with at the 2-hour Skills Practice & Assessment Workshop.
