HLTAID009 Course Delivery Modes

Face-to-Face Training

For those who prefer in-person learning, face-to-face sessions are available across Toowoomba. These sessions provide hands-on experience with direct supervision from qualified trainers, allowing participants to practice CPR techniques on adult manikins and receive immediate feedback. The practical demonstration component is crucial, as assessment requires participants to perform uninterrupted CPR for at least two minutes, ensuring they can maintain proper compression depth and rescue breathing ratios in real-life scenarios.

Blended Online & Face-to-Face Learning

Blended learning options combine online theory modules with a short in-person practical assessment. Face to Face contact time of at least 20 Mins. This format is ideal for busy professionals, allowing them to complete the theoretical components at their own pace before attending a brief practical session to demonstrate their CPR skills. The online modules cover essential topics such as basic emergency life support principles and the DRSABCD action plan, aligning with ARC guidelines.

CPR Refresher Courses

For individuals whose CPR certification is nearing expiry, express refresher courses are available. These sessions focus on updating knowledge of current ARC guidelines and reinforcing practical skills through demonstration exercises. Refresher courses are typically shorter in duration and are suitable for those whose previous training has not lapsed significantly.

Assessment Requirements

To achieve certification, participants must demonstrate both theoretical knowledge and practical skills:

• Practical Demonstration: Performing uninterrupted CPR for at least two minutes on a floor-placed manikin, demonstrating correct compression depth, rate, and rescue breathing coordination.

• Theory Assessment: Completing a written assessment covering topics such as ARC guidelines, emergency situation recognition, and communication with emergency services.

These assessments ensure that graduates are equipped to apply their CPR skills effectively in various emergency scenarios.
