You'll also be equipped with the knowledge and skills you'll need for calling for assistance, making a casualty assessment, incident-specific decision-making and providing basic life support including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
The training for this short course is delivered by experienced First Aid practitioners with strong education backgrounds. The sessions are structured to mix theory with practical, hands-on activities and covers both adult and child injuries and conditions.

This course has the following essential entry requirements:
It is a requirement that students are physically able and capable to kneel on the floor to complete a minimum of two minutes of CPR on an adult manikin.
It makes sense that you should be recognised for the things you already know how to do.
TasTAFE can assess your skills and knowledge based on your previous education, work history or life experience - which may help you to gain your qualification a whole lot faster!
