​

Is HLTAID011 the same as HLTAID003?

​

HLTAID011 is the current code for the Provide First Aid unit of competency. The main differences between HLTAID003 and HLTAID011 are that HLTAID003 has been replaced by HLTAID011 and the content has been updated to reflect the new Provide First Aid guidelines. There are no major changes between the two units, but the minor changes include updates to emergency scenarios and first aid procedures. Overall, both units cover the same material and provide the same skills and knowledge. If you’re looking to update your first aid certification, HLTAID011 is the most current unit of competency.

 

Does HLTAID011 include CPR?

​

Yes. HLTAID011 Provide First Aid course includes CPR theory and practical training and assessment covering the unit HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. Both units are included of the statement of attainment that you receive upon successful completion of the course. There is no need to book and attend a separate CPR course to cover your yearly CPR certification requirements.

​

How much does a first aid course cost?

​

First aid courses are an important investment, both for individuals and businesses. As a general guide, most first aid courses in Brisbane will cost between $100 and $180. Individuals attending public courses should consider the cost of travel, parking and time away from work as factors when considering overall cost. My First Aid Course offer some of the cheapest first aid courses in Brisbane. Our public course venues have free parking at multiple convenient locations and courses are extremely time efficient as we incorporate pre-course online learning and assessment.  

For businesses, the cost of a first aid course will usually be offset by the increased productivity and safety of employees. In addition, businesses can host onsite group training so there is no travel involved and discounts often apply for group bookings.

​

How long does a first aid course take?

​

Standard first aid courses typically take a full day of training to cover the fundamental knowledge and skills required to respond in emergency situations. However, with online learning, the time you spend in class can be significantly reduced. My First Aid Course offers both options for participants. The most popular is our 2-hour express assessment-only practical session with comprehensive online learning completed prior to attending.
