A first aid course is officially known as HLTAID011 Provide First Aid. Ours is the perfect first aid course for learning the skills for responding to emergencies, accidents, and other life-threatening situations.
Working with your first aid trainer, among the first aid skills you’ll learn in one of our courses are wound cleaning and dressing, how to correctly use an Epi-Pen, the importance of the recovery position, how to provide basic emergency life support, and how to accurately describe an emergency situation over the phone to best assist emergency responders.
Additionally, you’ll learn how to safely manage various first aid situations including:
Our emergency first aid training course duration is three (3) hours of in-person, hands-on training. Your session will consist of various readings, presentations, and practical activities, concluding with assessment activities. Upon your successful completion, you will be awarded with a nationally recognised first aid certificate.
Taking a first aid course is essential for both anyone and everyone; it’s importance cannot be overstated. By taking a first aid course, you will be able to provide basic emergency life support and make a difference when it really matters. Emergencies can occur in the workplace, out on the street, in an school or education and care setting, any place or any time you can think of. Knowing first aid practices puts the power to step in and assist in your hands.
HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is essential to any workplace. It’s not just for doctors, nurses, paramedics, and other health care workers. First aid emergencies can occur anywhere, in the office, at schools, and even at home. There’s no profession to whom first aid certificates are not beneficial in some way.
If you have already completed a HLTAID011 Provide First Aid course, consider taking further studies to ensure your skills are at their peak and that you can truly step into any first aid situation. As a registered training organisation, we offer plenty of other courses which can help expand your healthcare knowledge. Some of our other specialties include our advanced and child first aid courses.
The course name is HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, which teaches students to recognise and safely intervene in a cardiac emergency.
Being able to provide CPR is just one aspect performing first aid, but it is its own discipline. The narrower focus of a CPR course is for anyone who already knows first aid but does not know CPR, or who does not have the time to fit a full course into their busy schedule but who still wants to be able to make a difference in an emergency.
When you take a CPR course you’ll learn the steps required to confidently provide CPR, mnemonic devices to ensure you remembers the steps of CPR for years after completing your course, and the differences in performing CPR for adults and for children. After your 90 minute face-to-face training, you’ll be rewarded with a nationally recognised statement of attainment, proving your newfound skills and knowledge.
The Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines strongly recommends that HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation training be retaken every twelve months to ensure your knowledge of CPR techniques remains up-to-date.
Many organisations will require you to take this refresher training to adhere to their first aid compliance. If you ever find yourself in an emergency where you need to provide CPR then you don’t want to struggle to remember what to do, you need the skills to be innate. There’s no need to regularly attend seminars when taking a refresher course is so simple.

Skills Training College offers refresher courses to ensure your first aid experience never falls behind.
CPR training does not technically expire but should be updated regularly with refresher training. The Australian Resuscitation Council recommends taking CPR refresher training every twelve months.

No, online training is not an option for CPR or first aid. Both first aid and CPR require practical skills which can only be evaluated through face-to-face, onsite training and assessment activities and not through online learning. As such, our first aid training must be conducted on site and we cannot offer an online first aid course.
First aid instruction is assessed through practical, hands-on assessment activities.
To ensure you have the knowledge required, at the conclusion of a first aid course we test your emergency first aid response knowledge and first aid skills. After completing your face-to-face training, skills you will be tested on include your ability to respond effectively and provide basic emergency life support, your ability and knowledge of first aid techniques, your emergency first aid response skills, and your ability to provide first aid assistance in a realistic first aid emergency. There may also be written evaluation.
CPR assessment consists entirely of being observed on your ability to perform CPR under supervision.
Anyone and everyone should take a first aid or CPR course, not just medical professionals.
Knowing these vital, life-saving skills can help you make a real difference. Outside of medical and healthcare professionals, a first aid certificate is particularly beneficial to anyone who works in child care, whether it’s at home or education workers in a school.
Completing CPR is part of a first aid certification. As such, our first aid qualification can be considered further learning from CPR.
Completing an emergency first aid course opens up several avenues of further learning in the field of first aid. Further education opportunities are available in the fields of remote first aid, and first aid for education and care settings. Specific examples include:
HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an education and care setting
HLTAID013 Provide First Aid in a remote or isolated site
HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid
HLTAID015 Provide advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy
HLTAID016 Manage first aid services and resources
Not all of these qualifications are available through Skills Training College.
