Working with your first aid trainer, among the emergency response 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. In our first aid courses, you’ll also learn how to safely manage the following first aid situations:
Vomiting
Choking
Asthma
Bleeding
Anaphylaxis
Shock
Broken bones
Dislocations, fractures, sprains, and strains
Our HLTAID011 Provide First Aid course duration is three (3) hours of in-person, hands-on training.

Upon your successful completion, you will be awarded with a nationally recognised first aid certificate. We are also proud to recognise your achievements immediately by providing students with same day certificates.
WHO NEEDS A FIRST AID COURSE?
Taking a first aid course is essential for anyone and everyone. It’s importance cannot be overstated. By taking a first aid course, you will be able to make a difference when it really matters. Emergencies can occur in the workplace, out on the street, or at any place or any time you can think of. Knowing first aid puts the power to step in and assist during times of crisis in your hands.
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 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. Our other specialties include our advanced first aid course and child first aid courses.
CPR Course Maroochydore
The official name for this course is HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. This course is designed to teach students to recognise when a cardiac emergency is occurring, as well as the steps necessary to intervene safely.
CPR is one aspect performing first aid, but it is its own discipline. The narrower focus of a HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation course is for anyone who already knows first aid but does not know CPR techniques, 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 medical emergencies.
When you take a HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation 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.
CPR Refresher Course
The Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines strongly recommends that HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation training be retaken every twelve months. 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does a First Aid Certificate Expire?
No, a first aid certificate does not expire. However, first aid is constantly changing and evolving, and as such it is strongly recommended that 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.
Does a CPR Certificate Expire?
Like a first aid certificate, 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.
What happens if I lose my first aid or CPR certificate?
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.
Can a First Aid or CPR Course be Completed Online?
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. As such, our first aid course must be conducted through on-site training and we cannot offer an online first aid course.
How Are These Courses Assessed?
These courses are assessed through practical assessment activities.
At the conclusion of a first aid course we test your 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 provide basic emergency life support and render medical assistance, your ability and knowledge of first aid practices, 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 in line with Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines under supervision.
Who Needs a First Aid or CPR Certificate?
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 with children, whether it’s at home or in one of the country’s education sectors.
Emergencies can occur anywhere, even around the office. As such, we also highly recommend first aid workplace training to ensure you’re ready to assist in a first aid situation, no matter what the situation is. First aid and CPR training shows your commitment and passion to your workplace and to workplace first aid compliance, and it can help open pathways to continuing professional development. First aid classes really are for everyone.
What Pathways to Further Learning Do These Courses Provide?
Completing CPR is part of a first aid certification. As such, one of our first aid qualification can be considered further learning from CPR. Advanced resuscitation qualifications are another example.
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.
