WHO NEEDS A FIRST AID COURSE?
Everyone must undergo first aid training. The significance of such training cannot be emphasised enough. Completing a first aid course will equip you with the ability to make a significant impact during critical moments. Emergencies can arise anywhere, such as at work, on the streets, and even at home. Being knowledgeable in first aid empowers you to intervene effectively when accidents or critical situations occur.
First aid skills are vital in all workplaces, not only in healthcare settings such as hospitals or clinics. Accidents and emergencies can happen in almost any working environment, including offices, schools, hospitality venues, retail, manufacturing, and construction. There isn’t a single profession that would not find value in having first aid certified individuals.
For those who already have first aid training qualifications, consider advancing your skills. Keeping your first aid abilities sharp ensures you are always prepared to handle any situation effectively. We offer advanced courses in first aid and specialised training in child first aid.
CPR Course Mount Gravatt
The course designator for a CPR training program is HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. This course specifically focuses on equipping learners with the skills to identify cardiac emergencies and the appropriate measures to respond safely.
While CPR is a component of first aid, it stands as a distinct skill set. The specific concentration of a CPR course benefits those who are already versed in first aid but lack CPR knowledge, or for those who may not have the time to engage in a comprehensive first aid course but still wish to be effective in emergencies.
CPR is essentially an emergency first aid course that teaches basic life support. In the CPR course, participants will learn the essential procedures for performing CPR, mnemonic aids to retain the CPR steps long after the course completion, as well as understanding the variations in performing CPR on adults versus children.
Upon completing the 90-minute in-person training, participants will receive a nationally recognised statement of attainment as evidence of their newly acquired skills and knowledge in CPR.
Mount Gravatt CPR Refresher Course
It is highly recommended by the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) that CPR training should be renewed every year to ensure that these essential skills remain sharp and instinctive. During an emergency that requires CPR, these skills must come naturally to you, without having to recall the procedures under pressure.
Enrolment & Eligibility
Skills Training College provides first aid and CPR courses with minimal entry requirements. You don’t need any prior academic or professional experience to register. However, there are certain essential criteria that students must meet to enrol in a first aid course:

In the event that you lose your first aid certification, just contact us and we will take you through the necessary steps to obtain a replacement.
Can a First Aid or CPR Course be Completed Online?
While there are components of our first aid courses that are completed online, they cannot be fully completed without face-to-face training and assessment activities.
How Are First Aid & CPR Courses Assessed?
The evaluation in these courses involves both practical training and assessment exercises.
In first aid courses, your knowledge and skills in first aid response are evaluated. This includes testing your capability to offer basic emergency life support. Additionally, there might be a written component to the assessment.
For CPR, the assessment is solely based on the observation of your proficiency in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Who Needs a First Aid or CPR Certificate?
First aid and CPR courses are essential for everyone, not just those in the medical field. These critical skills can be life-saving in emergencies, making a significant difference when it matters most.
Beyond healthcare professionals, individuals working with children, including in educational settings or at home, will find first aid and CPR certifications particularly valuable.
Since emergencies can happen in any environment including places of work, we strongly advocate for workplace first aid training. This ensures preparedness for various accidents and emergencies, demonstrating your legal compliance as well as dedication and commitment to your workplace and colleagues. Additionally, training in First Aid and CPR can pave the way for ongoing professional development.
How long is the first aider training course?
For HLTAID011 Provide First Aid – Pre-course online reading and quiz is self-paced, followed by a 3-hour face-to-face training session.
For HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation – the pre-course online reading and quiz is self-paced, followed by a 9 am – 10.30 am face-to-face training. It only takes 1.5 hours with our short course specialists.
Can a first aider be sued for negligence in Australia?
Generally no. The Good Samaritan laws offer protection to individuals who provide first aid as long as the assistance is provided voluntarily, in response to a genuine emergency, and without expectation of reward. However, this protection may not extend to instances of gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
