Why do I need First Aid?

You never know when an emergency may happen, but if you know first aid, you can at least know you are as prepared as you can be to lend a hand and save a life. 

How do I get qualified for First Aid?

HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is a mix of knowledge (theory) and practical (skills).

If you complete the Face-to-Face course, you will be assessed on the knowledge requirements in class.

If you complete the Learning Online course, you will be assessed on the knowledge requirements online.

Practical assessment is completed in-class for both courses as you must be observed performing your first aid skills by a registered trainer. 

How do I do First Aid Face-to-Face?

The entirety of this course is done under the guidance and supervision of a professional first aid trainer in the classroom. All knowledge and practical assessments are completed with a certified first aid trainer, so you get the most support and expert advice possible.
