First Aid Course Dandenong
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
The nationally recognised course, HLTAID011 Provide First Aid, is an essential training program for developing the skills necessary to respond to accidents and emergencies. This first aid course covers a range of emergency response skills including the proper techniques for wound cleaning and dressing, the correct usage of an Epi-Pen, the significance of the recovery position, providing basic emergency life support, and effectively communicating an emergency situation over the phone to support emergency responders. Additionally, the course trains you in the safe handling of various first aid scenarios such as:
- Vomiting
- Choking
- Asthma
- Bleeding
- Anaphylaxis
- Shock
- Broken bones
- Dislocations, fractures, sprains, and strains
Our first aid training courses involve three hours of direct, practical instruction. These sessions include a blend of reading, presentations, and hands-on activities, concluding in assessments. Upon successful completion, participants receive a nationally recognised first aid certificate, signifying their readiness to handle emergency situations.
Knowledge in first aid and CPR is indispensable. Medical emergencies can arise unexpectedly, and being unprepared without these crucial skills means missing the chance to help. In emergency situations, there’s no opportunity to research how to administer first aid; you must have this knowledge beforehand, and the best way to acquire it, is through an accredited course.
WHO NEEDS A FIRST AID COURSE?
Enrolling in a first aid course is crucial for everyone. Its significance in preparing individuals for emergencies is immense. By learning first aid, you empower yourself to be a vital first aid responder in urgent situations. Emergencies can happen anywhere, be it in the workplace, on the streets, or at any location and time imaginable. Possessing first aid knowledge equips you to provide assistance in critical times.
First aid is a vital skill in every work environment, not limited to medical professionals like doctors, nurses, or paramedics. Emergency situations requiring first aid can arise in various settings, including hospitality venues, construction sites, offices, and schools. First aid training is advantageous for individuals in any profession.
If you have already have a first aid course certification, consider taking further studies to ensure your skills are at their peak and that you can truly step into any first aid situation. Our other specialties include our advanced first aid course and child care first aid courses.
CPR Course Dandenong
The official designation for a CPR course is HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. This course focuses on teaching participants to identify cardiac emergencies and the correct procedures for safe intervention.
While CPR is a component of first aid, it is also a specialised skill in its own right. This course is specifically tailored for individuals who are familiar with general first aid but lack CPR training, or for those who may not have the time to undertake a comprehensive first aid course but still wish to respond in emergency situations with effectiveness.
In the STC CPR course, participants will learn the necessary steps for performing CPR, including mnemonic techniques to help retain this knowledge long after the course’s completion, and how CPR techniques differ between adults and children. Completing this 90-minute in-person training will result in receiving a nationally recognised statement of attainment, affirming your skills and knowledge in this critical area.
Skills Training College’s Dandenong CPR courses are conducted from our training venue at 124 – 126 Princes Highway, Dandenong. We also offer training to provide CPR from our locations in Melbourne CBD and Tullamarine. Our first aid courses are available for $39 per person.
Dandenong CPR Refresher Course
The Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) emphatically advises repeating CPR training annually to maintain these crucial skills as instinctive. In the event of an emergency where CPR is necessary, it’s important that these skills are automatic, without the need to pause and recall the procedures.
A CPR refresher course is the same as a regular CPR course in every respect. Courses last for 90 minutes, cost $39 per person, and are conducted from our training room at 124 – 126 Princes Highway, Dandenong.
