Frequently Asked Questions

CPR & First Aid courses cannot be completed entirely online. These courses require participants to demonstrate practical skills such as performing CPR on adult, child, and infant manikins, executing DRSABCD, using a defibrillator correctly, bandaging, managing fractures, etc.

Due to these practical requirements, it is highly unlikely that any First Aid course conducted purely online is a nationally accredited course.

CPR Course

HLTAID009

Participants typically complete this course annually to stay informed about the latest techniques and guidelines. Most attendees enrol primarily to maintain their certification and ensure they are equipped with current life-saving skills.

If you unsure which course to choose or if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

To enrol in a course, you can easily book online through the course calendars on our website. These calendars provide a list of available courses along with their specific dates, times, locations, and pricing.

Important Note: Before enrolling, you will need a Unique Student Identifier (USI). A USI is a reference number that links to your training records and qualifications in Australia. It is required for anyone undertaking nationally recognised training, including our First Aid courses.

To create your USI, visit the official USI website at usi.gov.au. The process is quick and straightforward, and you will receive your USI immediately. Make sure the name and email address you use to create your USI matches the information you provide during the course booking to ensure your records are correctly linked.

Once you have your USI, you can proceed with your enrolment. If you have any questions about obtaining a USI or the enrolment process, feel free to contact us for assistance.

Yes. Rest assured, all our courses meet the highest standards set by the Australian government — ensuring you receive quality training that is recognised nationwide.

The simplest method to verify if you’re undertaking an official First Aid Course with any provider is to ensure they have an RTO (Registered Training Organisation) number. Our RTO number is 41072.

To confirm the legitimacy of an RTO number, you can visit training.gov.au and search for the RTO to make sure it’s accurate and the course provider is registered with the Australian government. If they aren’t listed on the training.gov.au website, they aren’t a legitimate RTO. To view our profile on training.gov.au, click here
