REFRESHER COURSE
Students with similar previous training and/or experience
DELIVERY MODE:
MIXED MODE
- Completing 2 hours of unsupervised pre-course study; and
- 5.5 hours of face to face training and assessment
EXPRESS MODE
- Completing 30 minutes of unsupervised pre-course study; and
- 5.5 hours of face to face training and assessment
Course durations are reflective of group sizes of between 4 and 15 students. If there are less students in a group, you may find course duration reduced by a maximum of 10%. If a class size exceeds 15 students, it may therefore also be necessary to increase course duration depending on the number of students.

Physical requirements for this course.
It is important to note that there are physical standards which relate to the level of performance required when undertaking accredited training. The HLTAID competency standards require a level of physical ability to provide first aid and respond to an emergency situation where there may be risk to life. One requirement of the training package is that you are to be assessed as physically capable of performing uninterrupted CPR for at least 2 minutes on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor. There can be no exceptions to these Australian Government requirements that are clearly written into the Training Package. Therefore, students who are unable to satisfy the physical requirements of the course cannot be deemed competent or issued with a statement of attainment, even if the qualification is a necessary part of their employment conditions.

ASSESSMENT PRACTICAL – Practical tasks and scenario demonstrations
The simulated assessment environments will reflect the real-life working environment where these skills and knowledge would be performed, with all the relevant equipment and resources of that working environment. Skills must be demonstrated by the student working individually in an environment that provides realistic in-depth, industry-validated scenarios and simulations to assess students’ skills and knowledge.
It’s important that students have knowledge of the content of this course. The assessable practical skills are listed below.
You will be assessed on performing first aid scenario and task demonstrations for:
- Infant CPR
- Adult CPR & defibrillation
- Anaphylaxis & autoinjector
- Asthma & medication
- Choking
- Turn a casualty on his/her side
- Bleeding control & shock
- PIT for a snake/spider bite
- Rice for sprain
