How far do you travel for workplace on-site training?

Our trainers can bring first aid training to you for group courses – a great way for friends, family and colleagues to learn life-saving skills. Travel, within a 100km radius from any of our training centres, is at no extra charge. Beyond the 100km radius would entail an additional fee to reasonably cover travel expenses. Call our friendly team today for a quote for your on-site group training requirements.

Can I do a weekend course?

Yes. Weekend first aid courses are available at many of our training centres.

Can I do my first aid course at home?

For nationally recognised first aid certification, practical assessment is a must. This takes place in a classroom environment. We've introduced eLearning to all of our first aid courses to reduce the face-to-face time and fast-track your certification. To learn CPR in your own home, one option would be to organise a group first aid course by gathering together some workmates, friends, or family members. Then simply get in touch with our team to book in your group first aid training.

Do you run refresher first aid courses?

Yes. Safe Work Australia recommends annual renewal of HLTAID009 Provide CPR certificates. Refresher courses instil confidence and help remove doubt – critical when CPR is needed. They also enable you to update your knowledge and skills after medical advances are made. Renewal every 3 years is recommended for HLTAID011 Provide First Aid and HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an education and care setting certificates.

Can children attend a first aid course?

The minimum age for first aid accreditation is 14 years. The theory and practical aspects of first aid training present few, if any, difficulties, but would depend on the student's level of education and physical ability. Please don't hesitate to phone us if you have specific questions about having your child attend first aid training.

I went for my CPR & First Aid training this morning 7/12/25 in Caboolture and Mark was an excellent trainer. He was careful to cover every detail & ensure everyone had a chance to ask questions after every instruction. He engaged with us while doing our physical training and demonstrations. He's incredible knowled from his years of experience showed & yet he kept the atmosphere light with his good humour. So much information to absorb & demonstrate but Mark provided a really positive learning space. Content excellent too.

The course (and Ben) was professional delivered via strong knowledge and expertise. Quality prompts, references, questions, examples and practice sessions. I think Ben’s facilitating was one of the best I have experienced. Well done.

Nishant

I recently complete a first course and it was outstanding experience from start to finish the teaching style was clear engaging and incredible practical she explained each skill in a way that was easy to understand ,encouraged questions and make sure everyone felt confidence before moving on the hand on practice session were especially helpful and I left the course feeling prepared to handle real life emergency. A fantastic course led by an exceptional instructor.

Gerhard Myburgh

Grate course to do to stay up to date with changes and covers a lot. Staff member doing the practical was great and knowledgeable. All I can reccomend is if you can proof read your manual and update as there are lots of words running into one another without spaces and a few spelling/grammar mistakes.

Hannah Williams

via google

I had such a positive experience with Nick. He’s had an incredible career as a paramedic, and the insights and stories he shared were both valuable and impactful. The four hours went by quickly as he kept the room engaged the entire time and struck the perfect balance of being firm yet kind in his assessments. I also stayed after the session to ask for some advice about my own career, and he generously spent time offering thoughtful guidance and practical ways to shift my mindset. I left feeling motivated, supported, and genuinely inspired. Nick was amazing.

🤔 Common Questions When Choosing a First Aid Provider

Q: Are all accredited first aid courses the same?

A: While all nationally accredited RTOs must cover the same content, the delivery method, trainer quality, venue convenience, pricing, and certificate turnaround time vary significantly. Choose based on your needs: online flexibility, location convenience, and cost.

Q: What should I look for in a first aid training provider?

A: Key factors: 1) RTO accreditation (we're RTO 31961), 2) Review ratings (our 4.9★ vs industry 3.5-4.2★), 3) Certificate speed (same-day vs 5-10 days), 4) Pricing transparency (our price beat guarantee), 5) Location convenience (4 venues vs typical 1-3).

Q: Why is your training cheaper than some competitors?

A: We train 200,000+ students annually across Australia, giving us economies of scale. Our blended learning model (online theory + in-person practical) reduces venue costs compared to full-day classroom sessions. We pass these savings to you while maintaining quality.

Q: Will employers accept your certificate?

A: Yes, absolutely. We're RTO 31961 (since 1996), nationally accredited by ASQA. Our certificates are recognized by all Australian employers, WorkSafe authorities, ACECQA (childcare), RACGP (medical), and ACN (nursing). Same validity as any accredited provider.
