What this course covers
You build on Provide First Aid, adding the skills to manage a complex or drawn-out response and to coordinate other first aiders and equipment until medical help arrives.
It suits incident and accident responders, site safety and security staff, child and aged carers, defence personnel, and any workplace that needs an advanced first aider.
Your Statement of Attainment covers four nationally recognised units — HLTAID014, HLTAID011, HLTAID010 and HLTAID009 — all from this one course. Provide First Aid and CPR are part of it, not separate bookings.

Why do this course?
Some workplaces need more than a basic first aider — high-risk sites, or work where an ambulance is a long way off. This is the training for that, and for directing other first aiders until help arrives. Employers across a range of industries — mining, construction, remote and outdoor work — see an advanced first aid certificate as a real plus.
- Workplace first aid officerHigh-risk and remote sites are where the advanced training is asked for.

In person
Before you come in, you complete a short online module — about 1 to 3 hours. You train in a classroom with a trainer, practising on a manikin and with real first aid equipment. The session runs 8 hours including breaks, and you complete your assessment in class.
