WHO NEEDS A FIRST AID COURSE?
The importance of learning first aid cannot be overstated. By taking a first aid course you will be able to provide basic emergency life support, and be able make a difference when it really matters.
Emergencies can occur in the workplace, out on the street, in a school or education and care setting, at any place or any time you can think of. Knowing first aid practices puts the power to step in and assist in your hands.
HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is essential to any workplace. It’s not just for doctors, nurses, paramedics, and other healthcare workers. There’s no person to whom a first aid certificate is not beneficial in some way.
CPR Course Prospect
The official name for this course and the qualification it awards is HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. Its main objective is to teach students how to recognise a cardiac emergency and take the necessary steps to intervene safely.
CPR is a crucial aspect of first aid, but has its own set of skills and knowledge. The course is designed for individuals who already know first aid but need to learn CPR or who have a busy schedule which doesn’t allow them to take a full course.
During this course, you will learn the steps required to provide CPR confidently, use mnemonic devices to remember the steps for an extended period, and will come to understand the differences in performing CPR for adults and children.
After completing the 90-minute face-to-face training, you will receive a nationally recognised statement of attainment, proving your skills and knowledge in CPR.
PROSPECT CPR Refresher Course
The Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines strongly recommend that HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation training be retaken every twelve months to ensure your knowledge of CPR techniques remains both innate and up-to-date.
Many organisations will require you to take this refresher training to adhere to their first aid compliance policies. If you ever find yourself in an emergency situation where you need to provide CPR, you don’t want to struggle to remember what to do, you need these skills to be second nature.
