DELIVERY OPTIONS:  (BLENDED DELIVERY – PERSONAL STUDY REQUIRED) |  (FACE TO FACE – NO PERSONAL STUDY) |  (ONSITE / WORKPLACE DELIVERY)
COURSE OPTIONS: 1 DAY (BLENDED COURSE) | 2 DAY (FACE 2 FACE)

This course is suitable for those in workplaces and members of the public who would like a comprehensive first aid course. This course was previously known as Senior First Aid, Workplace Level 2 and Apply First Aid.

Knowing what to do in the first few minutes following an accident can be the difference between life and death. This nationally accredited certificate provides you with practical skills and knowledge combined with the confidence to provide initial emergency care in accordance with approved first aid principles that only a course with a comprehensive face to face component can offer.

Our course incorporates a number of realistic classroom simulations aimed at preparing you to deal with first aid situations with a practical real-world approach to first aid. Our most popular course by far is our blended delivery course which combines online self-paced learning with face to face classroom training.

Our blended delivery course ensures that all the practical hands-on elements of first aid, together with all the critical life-saving components of first aid such as using an AED, performing CPR or dealing with serious injuries, are taught by qualified trainers in a face to face environment. As for the non-life-threatening elements of the course, this material is taught to you via our student portal using a combination of presentations and video-enhanced materials. 

The HLTAID011 Provide First Aid course is considered the industry standard in first aid training and is suitable for anybody requiring a Level II or workplace first aid certificate for use in the workplace, home and sport or recreational groups. This certification is nationally recognised and acknowledged throughout Australia.

Over the years we have built strong relationships with many of our local Neighbourhood Houses and their wonderful staff to deliver our nationally accredited and non-accredited courses to the local communities using the Neighbourhood Houses as a permanent training location and venue, while at the same time having an established training centre in Preston, Victoria.

INDUSTRY AND REGULATOR APPROVED REASONABLE ADJUSTMENTS

It is a requirement of this course, as stated by the HLTAID011 unit criteria, that the demonstration of CPR and other practical first aid components during the practical assessment must be demonstrated and performed by participants on an adult, child and infant manikin.

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the following reasonable adjustment have been approved for use by our state regulators, the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC), the Australia Industry and Skills Council (AISC) and the Department of Education, Skills and Employment (DESE). COVID-19 reasonable adjustments include:

  • Ensuring students do not breathe directly into a manikin, instead, the assessor must watch and assess the students performing breaths to the side of the manikin.
  • A no-contact approach to delivery and assessment with students and staff

On top of the reasonable adjustments issued by our regulators, Intelligent Training Solutions has also implemented the following COVID-19 safety measures as part of our delivery and assessment:

  • Restricted all public class sizes to accommodate the 4m2 between students and staff
  • Equipped our trainers with commercial-grade disinfectant to use on all classroom surfaces and contact touch points such as light switches, door handles, benchtops, classroom tables and chairs etc…
  • We have implemented new equipment disinfecting procedures which include sanitising and disinfecting all equipment before and after classes regardless if the equipment has been used. 
  • We have hand sanitiser available for use to all our staff and students. Hand sanitiser is available in all public spaces and in our classrooms.

This course and the unit of competency that make up your Statement of Attainment must be assessed both theoretically and practically in accordance with the first aid criteria.

  • Observation of simulated and practical activities
  • Structured questioning or discussions.

PLEASE NOTE: It is a requirement of this course as stated by the HLTAID003 that the practical assessment (demonstration) of CPR must be performed on an adult and infant manikin while on the floor.

 

TOPICS COVERED IN THIS COURSE

Even though first aid is a serious topic, we pride ourselves on our fun, practical and engaging format that simulates real worlds scenarios. Our courses contain a lot of valuable video content to ensure participants remain engaged rather than listening to war stories of trainers past experiences. Unlike many other first aid providers, all our trainers are highly qualified with our senior trainers and our program coordinator being qualified as division 1 nurses or emergency service workers and paramedics. Our standards are high to ensure that the information you receive during this course is current and practical and not just taught by a ‘first aider’. We believe in providing you with highly qualified trainers that have real industry experience that is current.

There are many topics within this first aid course. For a full list of the information taught and assessed we recommend viewing the HLTAID011 Provide First Aid criteria upon which our course is based.
