Knowing first aid and CPR is indispensable. Medical emergencies can arise unexpectedly, and without these critical skills, you may be unable to assist effectively. In such urgent situations, there’s no time to search for instructions – having prior knowledge is essential, and this is acquired through training.
Skills Training College offers various courses designed to empower you with life-saving skills. To begin, simply enroll in one of our courses today and embark on your path to a first aid certification. Should you need further information or have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us – we’re here to assist you.
WHO NEEDS A FIRST AID COURSE?
Enrolling in a first aid course is vital for everyone. The significance of a first aid course in empowering you to act decisively in crucial moments cannot be overstated. Emergencies can strike anywhere – in the workplace, on the street, or at home. Possessing first aid knowledge equips you to intervene and provide aid during crises.
First aid is a fundamental skill for all workplaces, not limited to health care professionals like doctors, nurses, or paramedics. No profession exists where a first aid certification isn’t advantageous.
Our first aid training courses involve three hours of direct, hands-on instruction. Each session includes a mix of course material readings, presentations, and practical exercises, culminating in assessments. Successfully completing the course earns you a nationally recognised first aid certificate, showcasing your acquired skills.
If you have already completed a first aid course consider taking further studies to ensure your skills are at their most effective 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 POORAKA
The designated title for a CPR course is HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. This course aims to equip students with the ability to identify cardiac emergencies and the appropriate measures for safe intervention.
CPR, while a part of first aid, is a specialised area of study. The focused nature of a CPR course benefits those familiar with first aid but lacking in CPR skills, or those unable to commit to a full first aid course due to time constraints but still eager to contribute in emergencies.
Participating in a CPR course, you’ll master the essential techniques of performing CPR, learn mnemonic devices to retain these steps long-term, and understand the variance in applying CPR to adults versus children. Completing the 90-minute in-person training culminates in receiving a nationally recognised statement of attainment, validating your skills and knowledge in this critical area.
Skills Training College’s Pooraka CPR courses are conducted from our training venue at 18 Bridge Road Pooraka, SA 5095 (Bridgeway Hotel). We also offer training to provide CPR from our nearby locations throughout Adelaide. Our first aid courses are available for $39 per person.
POORAKA CPR Refresher Course
The Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) strenuously 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 instinctive.
A CPR refresher course is the same as a regular CPR course. Courses last for 90 minutes, cost $39 per person, and are conducted from our training room at 18 Bridge Road Pooraka, SA 5095 (Bridgeway Hotel).
