Yes. You finish with a Statement of Attainment for HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, issued by Training Aid Australia (RTO 91411). It is accepted in every state and territory. The separate online CPR course sold on this site is not accredited and does not give you this certificate.

The classroom session runs for 3 hours including breaks. There is also a compulsory online module that you complete before you attend.
Do I have to attend in person?
Yes. This is a classroom course — you need to be there to practise CPR on a manikin, and you need to be physically able to do 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR on the floor.
