Theory training – students will learn to identify first aid priorities, recognise signs and symptoms of common medical conditions, understand legal and workplace requirements, and apply the principles of basic life support. The theory component covers emergency response procedures, risk assessment, infection control, safe work practices, and the correct use of first aid equipment in line with current ARC guidelines.
Practical training with demonstration – the hands-on component provides students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge in realistic simulated scenarios. Under trainer supervision, students will practise CPR techniques on manikins, manage wounds, treat injuries, use first aid equipment, and respond to a range of emergency situations. This component ensures learners can demonstrate competency, build confidence, and perform first aid procedures safely and effectively in real-life environments.
The course uses a blended learning approach, including face-to-face exercises, workplace simulations, ensuring students gain the confidence, and practical capability required to respond effectively to real-world emergency situations.
Assessment is conducted by qualified assessors using a combination of tools and methods, in accordance with the principles of assessment (fairness, flexibility, validity, reliability) and the rules of evidence (valid, sufficient, current, authentic). Students will be assessed as either Competent or Not Yet Competent based on their performance against the unit requirements. Assessment methods may include:
Direct observation of practical skills during simulated emergency scenarios
Verbal questioning to assess underpinning knowledge
Written responses to theory-based questions
Portfolio evidence, including completed workplace documents or work samples
A combination of the above methods
If you are assessed as Not Yet Competent (NYC), you will have the opportunity to be reassessed. You may contact Host Safety and Training (RTO 40772) to arrange your reassessment. A reassessment fee may apply.
Reassessment will focus only on the part of the assessment that was not successfully completed.
Reassessment must be completed within 60 days of the original assessment.
