Here’s What You’ll Learn In This Course:

The HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid course is designed to teach participants how to confidently respond to medical emergencies and administer first aid until professional medical help arrives. This comprehensive course includes both theoretical and practical components, following the most current Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines.

Participants will learn how to perform CPR on adults and infants, use an AED (defibrillator), manage injuries such as cuts, burns, fractures, and sprains, and respond to a wide range of medical emergencies, including asthma, anaphylaxis, cardiac arrest, and shock. The training also covers legal considerations, infection control, incident reporting, and assessing emergency situations to ensure a safe and effective response.

This course is delivered through blended learning, with online theory completed beforehand followed by a one-day, face-to-face practical session. The combination of interactive classroom training and realistic simulations ensures participants develop the confidence and skills needed to act quickly and effectively in an emergency.

On successful completion, participants receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid. This certificate is valid for three years, with CPR (HLTAID009) recommended to be refreshed annually.

This certification is essential for designated workplace first aiders and is highly valued in industries such as construction, education, childcare, aged care, healthcare, hospitality, and sports.
