Which first aid course do I need?

HLTAID009 CPR is the CPR unit on its own. HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is the full workplace certificate and includes CPR — it's the one most workplaces ask for. HLTAID012 Childcare First Aid adds child-specific content for educators and care staff, and includes CPR and first aid.

How often do I need to renew?

As a general guide, most workplaces require CPR to be renewed every 12 months and Provide First Aid every 3 years. Check your workplace's specific requirements.

Is there any pre-course work?

Yes — there's a short online learning module to complete before your in-person session, available in your Student Portal under "My Courses" — the Portal link is in your confirmation email.
