Bleeding
Anaphylaxis
Shock
Broken bones
Dislocations, fractures, sprains, and strains
Our comprehensive first aid training courses involve three hours of direct, practical instruction.

Upon successful completion, participants receive a nationally recognised first aid certificate.
WHO NEEDS A FIRST AID COURSE?
Enrolling in a first aid course is imperative for everyone. Participating in a first aid course equips you to make potentially life saving contributions during critical moments. Emergencies can unfold anywhere – in the workplace, on the street, or at any conceivable location and time. Mastery of first aid skills grants you the capability to actively intervene and provide aid in crisis scenarios.
First aid training is crucial in all types of workplaces, extending beyond the realms of doctors, nurses, paramedics, and other healthcare workers and is invaluable across all professions.
First aid and CPR training are indispensable skills. In the event of a medical emergency, having this knowledge is crucial, as there’s no time to search for instructions. The best way to be prepared is through accredited training.
If you have already have a first aid 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 childcare first aid courses.
CPR Course Launceston
The designated title for a CPR course is HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. This course trains students in identifying cardiac emergencies and the essential actions for safe intervention.
While CPR is a component of first aid, it stands as a distinct skill set. The concentrated focus of a CPR course benefits those who are familiar with first aid but lack CPR knowledge, or for individuals who want to contribute in emergencies but can’t accommodate a full first aid course in their hectic schedules.
Participating in a CPR course, you’ll master the necessary steps to perform CPR, learn mnemonic devices to retain CPR techniques long after course completion, and understand the variations in administering CPR to adults and children. Completing the 90-minute in-person training rewards you with a nationally recognised statement of attainment, certifying your newly acquired skills and knowledge.
Launceston CPR Refresher Course
The Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) strongly recommends that CPR training be retaken every twelve months to ensure that the critical skills remain second nature. If you ever find yourself in an emergency situation where CPR is required, you don’t want to struggle to remember what to do, you need the skills to be innate.
A CPR refresher course covers the same skills and knowledge 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 Launceston Conference Centre, 50 Glen Dhu St, South Launceston, easily accessible by car with ample parking options.
