HLTAID012 – Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting ($120.00)

About this course

HLTAID012 is specifically tailored for those working in education and care environments, such as schools, child care centers, or any setting that involves the supervision of young people. This course includes everything covered in HLTAID011 but focuses specifically on the needs of children and young people. You will learn to respond to emergencies unique to this demographic, including the management of asthma, anaphylaxis, and seizures. With hands-on practice and practical scenarios, this course ensures that you are equipped to deal with common injuries and health conditions in children, while also gaining a solid foundation in providing first aid to adults. Whether you’re a teacher, a caregiver, or anyone working with young people, this course prepares you to handle emergencies with calm and competence.

What is standard?

The Standard face to face course is a longer duration and focusses on training of skills and knowledge as well as practical assessments.

Thorough training of skills and knowledge is to prepare students for the practical assessments on the day. The standard course is for those students who require practice of skills prior to partaking in the practical assessments.

As First Responder Academy training is refreshed every three years, unless students are regularly completing workplace training, where the practice of hands on first aid skills take place, we recommend completing the standard course.

What is express?

The Express face to face course is a shorter duration and focusses on practical assessments only.

The face-to-face session generally does not include preparation for practical assessments, as students are expected to attend the course with a level of practical experience to undertake the assessments. Students are expected to have completed a first aid course in the past, and regularly complete workplace training, or a role within a first aid capacity, where the practice of hands on first aid skills take place.

As Express courses are strictly for experienced students, should students require further training to help them complete their practical assessments on the day, the trainer/assessor may charge an additional fee or recommend students complete further training including attending a standard course.
