Schools First Aid Course Set or HLTAID012?
These are different training products. Do not assume that one can replace the other.
The Schools First Aid Course Set includes separate asthma and anaphylaxis units. It also includes HLTAID011, HLTAID010 and HLTAID009.
HLTAID012 includes HLTAID012, HLTAID011, HLTAID010 and HLTAID009. It focuses on first aid response involving adults, children and infants in education and care settings.
APTS can explain the course options. Your employer or the organisation that set the requirement should confirm the training outcome you need.
Can first aid training be completed online?
Some delivery formats include online theory or pre-course learning. Practical assessment must still take place in person.
You may need to complete learning activities before attending the Dandenong venue. You must then demonstrate the required CPR and first aid skills during the practical session.
Before booking, check:
- whether online or pre-course learning is required;
- when that work must be completed;
- how long you need to attend the venue;
- which practical skills will be assessed;
- whether the format suits a new learner or refresher participant.
The practical session may be short, but online or pre-course work can add to the total time required.
Practical assessment requirements
First aid certification requires demonstrated practical skills. Attendance alone does not guarantee successful completion.
Participants must perform CPR on an adult manikin placed on the floor. They must continue without interruption for at least two minutes.
Depending on the course, assessment may also include:
- infant or child CPR;
- automated external defibrillator use;
- casualty assessment;
- first aid responses to injury or illness;
- simulated emergency situations;
- communication and incident reporting.
Contact APTS before booking if an injury, disability or other circumstance may affect a practical task.
APTS may discuss support or reasonable adjustment where appropriate. Reasonable adjustment means suitable support that does not change the required assessment outcome. APTS cannot remove mandatory assessment outcomes.
Call 1300 325 001 or email info@auspactraining.com.au before enrolling to discuss your needs.
