The First Aid Level 1 course covers basic, but important first aid skills. This course is recommended for office type businesses who want to comply with the Department of Labour health and safety standards or if an individual would like more knowledge and to feel confident on how to help in a medical emergency. This course covers theory as well as practicals so that your skills can be perfected. After attending the first aid course, you will be able to identify life-threating situations and offer assistance until an ambulance arrives. These few minutes could save a life.

The First Aid Level 2 course is recommended for those that need a more advanced level of first aid, and those working in a higher risk industry such as workshops, construction sites, or out in the field.

The certificate is valid for 3 years.
