First Aid & CPR Course Keperra

No, a first aid certificate does not expire. However, first aid is constantly changing and evolving, and as such it is strongly recommended that first aid refresher training be taken every three years to ensure that your skills and knowledge remain current.

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.

If your first aid certification is lost or stolen, simply reach out to us and we can provide you with the steps that you need to take in order to receive a replacement first aid training certificate.

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.

Skills Training College has locations across Queensland and Australia that offer first aid & CPR courses, security courses, barista courses and more.
