First Aid and CPR in One Course
Our HLTAID011 Provide First Aid course is the certificate most workplaces ask for. It includes HLTAID009 Provide CPR and HLTAID010 Basic emergency life support, so one course gets you all three. You study the theory online at your own pace, then attend a 3.5-hour practical session in Brisbane or on the Gold Coast.
It's popular with workplace first aid officers, support workers, nurses and other health workers, coaches, and anyone who wants to know what to do in an emergency at home.
Only need CPR, or work with children?
If you only need CPR, our CPR course covers HLTAID009 on its own in 1.5 hours for $49. Educators and carers working with children usually need our ACECQA approved Childcare First Aid course (HLTAID012) instead.

You will be issued with one Statement of Attainment listing the following nationally recognised units of competency:

Frequently asked questions (FAQS)
How long does a First Aid certificate last?
HLTAID011 Provide First Aid should be renewed every 3 years. The CPR part (HLTAID009) should be refreshed every 12 months, which you can do with our 1.5-hour CPR refresher.
How much does the First Aid course cost?
$99, which includes all three units on one Statement of Attainment: HLTAID011, HLTAID010 and HLTAID009.
Do I need to study before the course?
Yes. After booking you'll get access to self-paced online learning, which you complete before your practical session.
Is there a physical assessment?
Yes. As part of the CPR assessment, you need to perform at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR on an adult manikin on the floor, and CPR on an infant manikin on a firm surface. If you have an injury or condition that could make this difficult, contact us before you book so we can talk through your options.
Do I need a USI?
Yes. We need a verified Unique Student Identifier (USI) before we can issue your certificate. You'll enter it after booking, and if you have trouble, your trainer can help on the day.
How many first aiders does a Queensland workplace need?
The First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice 2021 recommends:
- One first aider for every 50 workers in low-risk workplaces (e.g. offices)
- One first aider for every 25 workers in high-risk workplaces (e.g. construction sites)
- One first aider for every 10 workers in remote high-risk workplaces (e.g. mining sites)
These are starting points. Your workplace's risk assessment, shift patterns, leave and how far workers are spread out may mean you need more first aiders, so there's always one available.
