CPR and First Aid Course Learning Outcomes

First aid courses teach life-saving skills for dealing with a wide range of medical emergency situations. You learn how to respond when someone suffers from cardiac arrest, an asthma attack, or common injuries.

The course content varies depending on the course, but all training options cover the same basic topics:

• Recognising and assessing the severity of an emergency situation
• Providing first aid in accordance with established first aid principles
• Operating first aid equipment, including automated external defibrillators
• Monitoring the casualty’s condition until emergency services arrive
• Administering emergency care during anaphylactic emergencies
• Reporting details of the incident based on workplace policies
• Contributing to a review of the first aid response

All courses are in line with guidance from the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and WHS codes of practice. Provide First Aid (HLTAID011) and Provide First Aid in an Education & Care Setting (HLTAID012) include a resuscitation component. You can receive first aid and CPR training from a single course.

First Aid and CPR Training Duration and Prerequisites

Class duration depends on the training program you select. The first aid courses often last eight hours while CPR courses last four to five hours. The face-to-face courses are taught in a classroom environment with hands-on training.

You need to participate in the course and assessments to demonstrate your basic knowledge and first aid skills. After completing the assessments, you get a certificate of completion the same day. There are no prerequisite safety training courses for first aid and CPR courses. You can enrol without having any relevant training experience.

Is a First Aid Certificate Mandatory in Mandurah?

A first aid or CPR certificate is mandatory for childcare workers and medical professionals. Some employers in the education sector require educators to complete a basic first aid course. Provide First Aid in an Education & Care Setting (HLTAID012) is a common course for teachers and childcare staff.

First aid training is also a safety requirement under the WHS Act. According to the Code of Practice for First Aid Facilities and Services in Western Australia, employers need to ensure that some employers know basic first aid skills.

The number of employees that need first aid training varies depending on the size and composition of the workforce. The typical recommendation in a low-risk workplace is to have 1 trained first aider for every 50 employees. In a high-risk setting, such as a construction site, you need 1 first aider for every 25 employees. In a remote high-risk environment, you need 1 first aider for every 10 employees.

Employees benefit from learning first aid procedures, even when first aid training is not mandatory. According to the Australian Red Cross, first aid can make the difference between life and death. Luckily, we provide access to a wide range of first aid courses to help you learn how to save lives.

Do You Need Refresher First Aid Training in Mandurah?

First aid certificates do not officially expire. However, current industry standards recommend that employees refresh their practical skills by retaking a first aid course every three years. CPR training should be completed each year.
