This course is designed for students who hold a current HLTAID003 Provide first aid certificate. These students will have current knowledge of first aid principles and techniques and complete an assessment-only pathway for the current HLTAID011 Provide First Aid unit. The online pre-course study allows for reduced online learning content, focusing mainly on advanced resuscitation and oxygen therapy techniques, followed by an online knowledge assessment. Practical skills will be demonstrated during a face-to-face practical assessment session.
This course includes simulated real-life situations to develop the skills and knowledge for using and maintaining specialised equipment for the provision of first aid, resuscitation, and oxygen therapy, as well as providing treatments specific to advanced conditions, such as inserting an appropriate basic airway adjunct, using tourniquets and haemostatic dressings for life-threatening bleeding, and administering oxygen safely at the correct flow rate.
