First Aid Course Rockingham
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
The official designation for a first aid course is HLTAID011 Provide First Aid. This course is crucial for acquiring the competencies needed to respond to emergencies, accidents, and various critical situations. In our course, you will learn a suite of emergency first aid response techniques, including effective wound cleaning and dressing, proper usage of an Epi-Pen, understanding the significance of the recovery position, providing basic emergency life support, and accurately conveying emergency scenarios over the phone to aid emergency responders. Additionally, the course equips you with the skills to manage a range of first aid situations safely including:
- Vomiting
- Choking
- Asthma
- Bleeding
- Anaphylaxis
- Shock
- Broken bones
- Dislocations, fractures, sprains, and strains
Our first aid training sessions involve three (3) hours of in-person, hands-on instruction. Throughout the session, you will engage in reading course materials, presentations, and practical training exercises. The session culminates in assessment activities. Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a nationally recognised first aid certificate acknowledging your achievement.
Understanding first aid and CPR is crucial, as medical emergencies can arise unexpectedly. Without these essential skills, your ability to assist effectively is limited. In urgent situations, there’s no time to search for instructions on performing first aid; these skills need to be second nature, and the best way to achieve this is through accredited training.
WHO NEEDS A FIRST AID COURSE?
Enrolling in a first aid course is crucial for everyone. The significance of this training cannot be emphasised enough. Completing an accredited first aid course equips you to effectively intervene in critical situations. Emergency scenarios can arise anywhere – be it in the workplace, on the streets, or at any other conceivable location and time. Mastering first aid skills empowers you to provide assistance in crisis situations.
First aid training is a fundamental requirement in any work environment, not exclusively for medical professionals like doctors, nurses, and paramedics. First aid emergencies can happen in diverse settings such as offices, schools, factories or hospitality. A first aid certificate is advantageous in every profession.
If you’ve already finished a first aid course, we recommend pursuing additional studies to enhance your skills, ensuring you’re well-prepared for any first aid scenario. Our specialised offerings encompass advanced first aid courses and child-specific first aid programs. These courses aim to further refine your expertise in these specialised areas.
CPR Course Rockingham
The formal designation for a CPR training program is HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. This course aims to equip students with the skills to identify cardiac emergencies and safely perform the necessary interventions.
While CPR is a component of first aid, it is a distinct skill in itself. The focused approach of a CPR course is ideal for individuals who are familiar with first aid but lack CPR expertise, or for those who want to learn life-saving techniques but have limited time for a full first aid course.
During the CPR course, you will acquire proficiency in the fundamental procedures for administering CPR, discover mnemonic devices to aid in remembering these steps over time, and grasp the distinctions between performing CPR on adults and children. Upon successfully completing this concise 90-minute in-person training, you will be granted a nationally recognised statement of attainment. This certification serves as validation of your acquired CPR skills and knowledge.
Skills Training College’s Rockingham CPR courses are conducted from our training venue a Quest Rockingham, 22 Flinders Lane, Rockingham, easily accessible by car and with parking options available. Our first aid courses are available for $39 per person.
Rockingham CPR Refresher Course
The Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) strongly advises repeating CPR training annually to maintain these essential skills at an instinctive level. In any emergency requiring CPR, it’s crucial to have these skills deeply ingrained, enabling you to act swiftly and effectively without the need to recall procedures.
A CPR refresher course has the same skills and knowledge components as a regular CPR course. Courses last for 90 minutes, cost $39 per person, and are conducted from our training room at Quest Rockingham, 22 Flinders Lane, Rockingham, easily accessible by car and with parking options available.

This frequent practice helps individuals maintain proficiency and stay abreast of any updates or changes in CPR protocols.

The evaluation of these courses involves practical training and assessment activities.
In first aid courses, your proficiency in first aid response and skills will be assessed. This includes evaluating your capability to offer basic emergency life support. Additionally, there might be a written assessment component.
On the other hand, CPR assessment focuses solely on observing and assessing your execution of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Who Needs a First Aid or CPR Certificate?
The importance of enrolling in a first aid or CPR course extends beyond medical professionals. Acquiring these crucial life-saving skills can enable individuals to make a significant difference during emergencies.
Beyond medical and healthcare sectors, possessing a first aid or CPR certificate proves especially advantageous for individuals working with children, whether in home environments or educational settings across the country.
Emergencies have no boundaries and can happen anywhere, including office spaces. Therefore, we highly encourage workplace first aid training to ensure readiness to assist in various emergency situations. Engaging in First Aid and CPR training not only showcases your dedication and commitment to workplace safety but can also pave the way for ongoing professional development opportunities.
What Pathways to Further Learning Do These Courses Provide?
Finishing a CPR course is an integral part of obtaining a first aid certification. Consequently, a first aid qualification can be viewed as an extension of learning derived from a CPR course. Another illustration is advanced resuscitation qualifications.
