First aid advanced – 1 day

Course Information

This one-day course (with required pre-learning) is designed for senior secondary school students looking to develop advanced first aid skills.

It builds confidence to respond to real-world emergency situations at school, work, or in the community.

What You’ll Learn

You will gain the knowledge and confidence to respond to a range of medical emergencies involving more than one person. This includes how to assess and manage patients experiencing:

• Shock, bleeding, and burns

• Fractures and soft tissue injuries

• Poisoning, heart attack, asthma, stroke, seizure, and diabetes

You’ll also learn essential life-saving skills such as CPR and how to assist someone who is choking (foreign body airway obstruction).

Course Delivery

The course is delivered in a blended format — you’ll complete some learning online before attending a one-day, practical, hands-on training session. The in-person training uses real-life scenarios to build your confidence and teamwork skills in responding to emergencies.
