What are the course requirements for First Aid

First Aid is designed to be taught to anyone with the willingness to render First Aid to someone who is in need. To successfully complete a Senior First Aid course you do not need to be academically minded, or exceptionally bright, you just need to have a willingness to learn.

Most Government Acredited First Aid courses in Australia require about 7 hours of face to face teaching over one to two days and both a practical exam (involving CPR and some splinting) and a little written exam. However, it should be noted that First Aid is designed to be taught to everyone and that you will never find a First Aid Instructor who goes out of their way to fail you.

We want all people to be capable of providing first aid!
