In most cases, your certificate will be issued electronically within the next week. Our admin team only work part time and will get to your courses ASAP.

A person with a disability can attend our courses. If the person is unable to kneel down on the floor to perform compressions and breaths for two minutes of uninterrupted CPR, the student can only be issued with a statement of attendance – not a statement of attainment.

If you have any special needs, (including those related to language, literacy, or numeracy) a relevant disability, or other concern, you should inform us when you book so that appropriate assistance can be arranged.

For all accredited training with First Aid Action, students must be 14 years of age with written parent or guardian consent.

All students enrolling in nationally recognised training in Australia need to obtain a Unique Student Identifier (USI). A USI is an exclusive 10-digit number consisting of letters and numbers that will be used to link a student’s account to all of their training records. It means an individual’s nationally recognised training and qualifications gained anywhere in Australia, from different training organisations, will be kept all together.

To create your own USI or read more about it to, go to: www.usi.gov.au.

Unfortunately, we do not have the facilities available to allow you to bring children to training. This includes babies in strollers.

Assessment conditions

Each candidate to demonstrate skills in an environment that provides realistic in-depth, scenarios and simulations to assess candidates’ skills and knowledge.

Due to the nature of this type of training, it is acceptable for the performance evidence to be collected in a simulated environment. Evidence of the learner’s currency as required by the first aid codes of practice must be confirmed prior to assessment.

Compression and ventilation skills must be demonstrated on resuscitation manikins following ARC guidelines for the purpose of assessment of CPR procedures.

Assessment must ensure access to:

  • adult and infant resuscitation manikins following ARC guidelines for the purpose of assessment of CPR procedures
  • anatomical model for use with a basic airway adjunct
  • AED training devices
  • bag-valve-mask
  • basic airway adjunct
  • oxygen resuscitation system with oxygen cylinder and regulator
  • pulse oximeter
  • selection of oxygen masks and tubes
  • suction devices
  • personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • haemostatic dressings
  • haemostatic wound packing trainer
  • tourniquet trainer
  • tourniquets
  • workplace incident, injury, trauma or illness record or other appropriate workplace or site incident report form, which includes space for recording vital signs of casualties.

Simulated assessment environments must simulate real-life situations where these skills and knowledge would be performed, with all the relevant equipment and resources of that workplace or community environment.

Assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations’ requirements for assessors and must hold this unit or demonstrate equivalent skills and knowledge to that contained within this unit.
