• Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) Requirements

  To successfully complete any First Aid course, all students must have a basic level of English language, literacy and numeracy. This ensures you can understand safety information, follow instructions, and participate safely in both the training and assessment.

  You must be able to:

  • Read and understand simple safety signs, instructions, and short texts
  • Write basic information (e.g., completing forms or short written responses)
  • Communicate clearly in English with the trainer and other participants
  • Follow verbal instructions during activities and assessments
  • Use simple numeracy, such as reading times, basic measurements, or safety-related quantities

  You must have a level of English that allows you to fully participate in the course. If you are unsure, please contact us — we can help you determine whether this course is suitable for you.

  If you require LLN assistance, please let us know before booking. We may be able to provide support, make reasonable adjustments, or recommend alternative options depending on your needs.

   

• Can I get RPL for this course?

  We do not offer RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) for any First Aid courses in Australia.

  Because First Aid units have strict currency requirements and expire, all students must attend and complete the full course and assessment activities to be issued a certificate.

  Perform 2 minutes of continuous CPR on an adult manikin placed on the floor

  Kneel on the floor for an extended period

  Use your arms and upper body strength to deliver effective compressions

  Perform other basic first aid tasks such as placing someone in the recovery position, applying bandages, and using an EpiPen or asthma device
