The course has previously been known as level 2 first aid or senior first aid. The course provides you with basic knowledge on how to recognise, respond and manage emergency situation.
First aid course assessment requires practical demonstration of CPR. This demonstration requires access to a manikin. Because of this requirement, it would be unlikely that an online first aid course is an accredited course.
Non-accredited courses are not recognised as official training and assessment and therefore cannot be used as certification for employment or study purposes.
Basic first aid provides you with the knowledge to know how to recognise, respond and manage emergency situation. It is also the course that meets workplace requirements for first aiders.
All accredited first aid certification in Australia does not have an expiration date. Students completing the course for work-related purposes are required, on recommendation by Safe Work Australia, to refresh/renew their certificates to maintain currency in their first aid skills. CPR certificates are to be renewed every 12 months, while first aid certificates are to be renewed every 3 years from the date of issue.
