HLTAID011 Provide First Aid (Learning Online)

HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is the core first aid course in Australia. It supersedes the old HLTAID003 Provide First Aid covers and know covers the signs, symptoms and management of more than 2 dozen of the most common first aid conditions and illnesses to leave you better prepared to assist in a first aid emergency situation than ever before.

Learning Online is a new course delivery method that combines the ease of online with the benefits of face-to-face training. Students complete the knowledge requirements of the course in their own time through their student portal before coming to class for a single 2-hour session where they can apply the practical first aid skills they have learned in a safe, simulated environment.
