There are no prerequisite units, however it is recommended that participants have some prior experience of providing first aid and have previously attained HLTAID003 Provide first aid or HLTAID011 Provide First Aid.
Participants will need the ability to meet the physical demands of providing first aid. Participants will also need oral and written communication skills to make an accurate verbal report to emergency services and workplace supervisor, as well as complete applicable workplace or site documentation, including incident report form. Prior to the start of face-to-face practical training, there may be a short knowledge quiz to check language, literacy and numeracy skills, as required.  These are described further here in the Foundation Skill Guide extract.

Training and assessment arrangements:

This accredited course is delivered in English (unless otherwise arranged), providing participants with the knowledge and skills to confidently recognise and respond to an emergency situation requiring remote first aid.  All courses are conducted either on site or at our training rooms, at a time to suit the facility or the majority of the participants.  Applicants must possess functional written and spoken English skills.

  1. Two Day course 2 day face-to-face classroom training and assessment + 6 hours pre-course on-line knowledge assessments + written reports.

Our First Aid educator observes the participants application of skills and knowledge throughout the practical sessions, during simulated emergency scenarios, contextualised to the candidate's workplace/community settings, and other skill stations both on and off the floor.  You will have opportunities to discuss and reflect on your performance during the course, to enable you to demonstrate the requisite practical skills and respond appropriately to written and oral questions
