We provide express, short and regular CPR course options depending on if you are updating your qualification or are taking this for the first time.
Need a first aid qualification to work in the early childhood and care?

First aid course FAQs
Why are your prices low?
To keep our training costs down a large component of our courses are completed as theory at home prior to the class. And by not supplying refreshments on the day of training we are able to keep our prices low and offer student pricing for all.
It also means we can focus on the fun stuff on the day of the class, and incorporate more practical exercises and assessments rather than a theory-based class environment.
Are you an accredited RTO?
Our courses are nationally accredited and are the same courses delivered nationally by any other RTO (Registered Training Organisation) provider. All of our courses must follow the ARC guidelines if delivered in Australia to make them compliant.
Which is the best first aid course for me?
How long with the pre-course theory take to complete?
The pre-study consists of multiple choice questions which can be done online.
Pre-study takes on average 5-8 hours. 95% of students prefer the online method (as opposed to attending another day) as it is convenient and cost effective.
Can I get first aid certified online without coming to class?
Online First Aid courses are not accredited, so they can’t be used for certification or employment purposes. The First Aid course assessment requires practical demonstration of CPR. This means that you will have to use an actual manekin, which is not available online for any reason and can only be found at real life training courses.
Does the Provide First Aid Course include CPR?
Yes. Your first aid certificate will state that you’re qualified to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) because it’s part of the training for those who have obtained their certification.
Does the first aid course include the 22101VIC Defibrillation course?
Defibrillation training is now a component of the 009 course, there is no longer a stand alone 22101VIC course
When will I get my certificate?
Our statement (certificate) will be emailed upon successful completion after 7pm the same day for morning classes, or next day for afternoon classes.
How often should I do my first aid certificate?
Your first aid qualifications will not expire. However, it is recommended that you update your qualification for First Aid every 3 years.
Most workplaces will require staff to have updated qualifications and because course codes can change every 2-3 years it is usually a requirement that first aiders hold a qualification for a current course.
