First Aid - Short Courses

HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation develops the knowledge and practical skills required to recognise and respond to an unconscious casualty who is not breathing normally. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an essential emergency response skill that can help maintain circulation and breathing until professional medical assistance arrives.

The course focuses on the practical application of CPR, with participants practising and demonstrating CPR using adult and infant training manikins. Training also covers responding to an emergency, accessing appropriate assistance and using an automated external defibrillator (AED). The course is conducted over approximately 3 to 4 hours and includes the practical assessment activities required to demonstrate competency.

HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is suitable for people who may be required to provide CPR in workplace, community or emergency situations.

The course develops the skills and knowledge required to recognise an emergency, perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) in accordance with current Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines.

The course is suitable for members of the public, workplace first aiders and people working in industries where current CPR competency is required.

This includes Queensland security industry participants who are required to maintain current CPR training as part of applicable ongoing training requirements.

Training includes the practical application of CPR techniques, responding to an emergency, accessing appropriate assistance and using an automated external defibrillator (AED).

Participants are required to complete practical CPR activities and demonstrate the required skills using appropriate training manikins and emergency response equipment.

Participants who successfully complete all training and assessment requirements will be issued a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for:

HLTAID009 – Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Course Fees From $50

HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is delivered through approximately 3 to 4 hours of face-to-face group training and assessment. Participants are required to attend and actively participate for the full duration of the course to ensure they receive the required instruction, practical training and opportunity to demonstrate competency.

During the session, participants complete the required knowledge and practical assessment activities and participate in trainer demonstrations, hands-on practical exercises, emergency response scenarios and group activities. Training provides participants with the opportunity to practise CPR techniques and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) in a controlled training environment before completing the required practical assessments. Participants must successfully demonstrate the knowledge and practical skills required by the unit of competency. This includes recognising and responding to an emergency situation, following appropriate emergency response procedures and demonstrating CPR using appropriate training manikins and equipment.

The practical nature of the course allows participants to develop confidence in applying CPR techniques while receiving instruction, guidance and feedback from their trainer throughout the training and assessment process.

In Queensland, Crowd Controllers and Bodyguards must complete specified ongoing training every three years, including either HLTAID011 Provide First Aid or HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid, together with applicable security units.

The course provides practical training in advanced first aid responses across a range of emergency situations and workplace environments. HLTAID014 may also contribute towards CPP31318 Certificate III in Security Operations where included in the student’s training program. Separate annual CPR training requirements may also apply to Queensland security licence holders.

HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid is designed for people who may be required to provide an advanced first aid response and manage an incident until medical or other assistance arrives. The course is particularly relevant to workplace first aiders, security personnel and others who may be required to respond to complex emergency situations. It extends beyond basic first aid by developing the participant’s ability to assess an incident, establish priorities, coordinate available resources and provide an appropriate response where multiple casualties or more complex injuries and illnesses may be involved.

Training develops skills in advanced first aid response, casualty management, coordinating an incident and working with or directing other first aiders. Participants also develop skills in resuscitation, use of appropriate first aid equipment, monitoring casualty conditions and communicating effectively with emergency services and other personnel during an incident.

Practical activities provide opportunities to apply these skills in realistic emergency scenarios and develop confidence in managing first aid incidents in accordance with recognised first aid procedures and Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines.

Training has a strong practical focus and includes responding to simulated emergency situations, assessing casualties, providing advanced first aid, managing multiple casualties and coordinating an appropriate emergency response. Participants complete the required knowledge and practical assessment activities and demonstrate their skills using appropriate first aid and emergency response equipment.
