Australia Wide First Aid guarantees the cheapest prices for first aid courses. If you find a cheaper price for the same course anywhere in Australia, we will beat it by 10%!
The course has previously been known as Level 2 First Aid or Senior First Aid. The HLTAID010 Provide basic emergency life support course includes the skills and knowledge to recognise, respond to, and manage an emergency medical situation.
First aid course assessment involves 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 refers to knowing how to recognise, respond and manage emergency situations. It also refers to the course that covers basic life support knowledge and skills for first aiders.
First aid certificates in Australia do not have expiry dates. For work-related purposes, Safe Work Australia recommends refreshing/renewing first aid certification to maintain currency in first aid skills — CPR certificates should be renewed every 12 months, while first aid certificates should be renewed every 3 years from the date of issue.
If you are completing the course for work-related purposes, check with your employer, as they will likely reimburse or pay for the course on your behalf.
