First Aid Training

Overview

This nationally recognised course equips participants with the skills and knowledge required to provide first aid in various emergency situations. It aligns with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines and is ideal for individuals looking to meet workplace first aid requirements or enhance their ability to respond effectively in emergencies.

Course Structure

The course consists of two components:

• Online Learning – A self-paced online module that must be completed before attending the face-to-face session. This allows participants to learn at their own pace, making it flexible and convenient.

• Face-to-Face Practical Assessment – A hands-on training session lasting approximately 3 hours, where participants will apply their first aid skills in a simulated environment under the guidance of an experienced instructor.
