Throughout the course, your knowledge and practical skills will be reassessed through hands-on, scenario-based activities to ensure you are confident and capable of responding effectively in real-world emergencies - whether in the workplace, at home, or in the community.
This training is delivered in accordance with current first aid guidelines from the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and other national peak clinical bodies.
How Often Should You Renew Your First Aid & CPR Training?
Regular refresher training is essential to maintain your skills and ensure you are following current best practice guidelines.
According to the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and Safe Work Australia, renewal is recommended as follows:
CPR: Every 12 months
First Aid: Every 3 years
Some workplaces - particularly those in high-risk industries - may require more frequent refresher training. Always check with your employer for specific compliance requirements.
In order to provide you with the best learning outcomes possible, this course is delivered via a mix of online learning and face-to-face training. You will be assigned an experienced Trainer Assessor for support throughout your course.
The online modules are self-paced and include assessments (quizzes, written tasks, or short exercises) to ensure understanding.
Your trainer will give you practical tasks to complete based on the information you’ve learned in your online theory module.
You will need to pass both steps in order to successfully complete the course.
