WHO NEEDS A FIRST AID COURSE?

Enrolling in a first aid course is an indispensable step for individuals from all walks of life. Its significance cannot be emphasised enough. By undertaking a first aid course, you acquire the ability to make a significant impact when it truly counts. Emergencies have the potential to unfold anywhere – in workplaces, public spaces, or at any unforeseen moment. Equipping yourself with first aid knowledge empowers you to intervene and provide crucial assistance during critical situations.

If you’ve already completed a first aid course, we encourage you to consider furthering your studies to ensure your skills remain at their pinnacle, enabling you to confidently address any first aid situation. Our institution offers specialised courses that can enhance your proficiency beyond the basic level.

Consider exploring our advanced first aid course, designed to equip individuals with more in-depth knowledge and advanced techniques for handling complex emergencies. Additionally, our child first aid courses cater specifically to providing essential skills tailored for addressing medical situations involving infants and children.

CPR Course Port Adelaide

The official designation for a CPR course is HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. This specialised course is specifically tailored to instruct students in recognising and responding to cardiac emergencies effectively and safely.

While CPR is a vital part of first aid, it constitutes a distinct discipline on its own. The CPR course is particularly beneficial for individuals who already possess basic first aid knowledge but lack CPR training or for those facing time constraints to complete a full first aid course yet desire the ability to make a critical difference in emergencies.

During the CPR course, participants will acquire expertise in:

Understanding the steps involved in performing CPR.
Utilising mnemonic devices to ensure long-term retention of CPR protocols.
Recognising and implementing the differences in performing CPR for adults versus children.

Our focused 90-minute face-to-face training session will equip you with these essential CPR skills. Upon successful completion, you’ll receive a nationally recognised statement of attainment, validating your acquired skills and knowledge in this crucial life-saving technique.

Port Adelaide CPR Refresher Course

The Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) highly advocates for regular CPR training refreshers, suggesting a re-certification every twelve months. This practice ensures that crucial CPR skills remain ingrained and readily accessible in case of an emergency. The goal is to avoid struggling to recall necessary steps and instead have the skills become almost instinctive.

Our CPR refresher courses mirror the content and structure of regular CPR courses in every aspect. The sessions maintain a duration of 90 minutes, offering a comprehensive review of CPR protocols. The cost for these refresher courses is $39 per person, providing an affordable opportunity to reinforce and update your CPR skills on a regular basis.
