You can Book a First Aid Course in Perth
Perth people have a range of first aid courses to choose from. The best one for you will depend on your work, study, site access requirements, licence needs or what your employer is asking for.
HLTAID011 Provide First Aid
Best for: Workplace first aiders, students, volunteers, coaches, carers and anyone else who needs a good general first aid qualification.
HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is one of the most popular first aid courses, and it teaches you CPR, basic emergency life support, and how to manage common injuries and illnesses.
This course includes:
- HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation
- HLTAID010 Provide Basic Emergency Life Support
HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Best for: If you need a CPR update every 12 months, or if you work in a place where you'll need to use an AED, this is the course for you. It's great for fitness workers, carers, health support roles, FIFO workers and site-based staff.
HLTAID009 will teach you how to use CPR and an AED to help someone who's not breathing.
HLTAID010 Provide Basic Emergency Life Support
Best for: If you just want a simple first aid course that covers the basics, then this is the one. HLTAID010 is a great choice for people who want entry-level first aid knowledge.
HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting
Best for: If you work in childcare, are an educator, or work in a school or outside school hours care setting, this is the course for you. HLTAID012 teaches you how to provide first aid for children and teenagers, and covers situations that might happen in your workplace.
Advanced First Aid
Best for: If you are in a high-risk job, or if your workplace needs you to have a bit more advanced emergency skills, this could be the course for you.
Advanced first aid is great for construction teams, resources workers, event staff, sport clubs, community service teams and workplaces that might need to deal with more serious incidents.
Advanced Resuscitation
Best for: If you have a job that requires you to have a bit more advanced resuscitation skills, this could be the course for you.
Advanced resuscitation may teach you a bit more about airways, oxygen, and emergency responses, depending on the course you choose.
Remote First Aid
Best for: If you work in a remote area, or if you spend a lot of time away from the city, this is the course for you. Remote first aid will teach you how to help someone who has an injury or illness in a place where help might be a long way away.
LVR CPR
Best for: If you need to respond to electrical incidents or have to meet a specific safety requirement in your role, this could be the course for you.
LVR CPR options are great for electrical workers and anyone else who needs to know how to rescue someone from a low voltage electrical accident.
Mental Health Course Options
Best for: If you're a manager, carer, team leader or work in a place where you want your staff to be able to spot mental health concerns, this is the course for you. Mental health training is different from physical first aid, and will help you notice warning signs and know how to get someone to the right help.

Where are the First Aid Courses in Perth?
Perth is a big place, so you're going to need to figure out where the nearest course is depending on how you travel and where you work. Some people want a course in the CBD near public transport. Others prefer training closer to the coast, the northside or southside, in the eastern suburbs.

What Format is the Course in?
Course format depends on the unit, provider, and date, so have a look at the course listing before you book.
Face to Face Training
Face to face training means you get to learn first aid in a class with a trainer, where you can practice CPR, AED use, bandaging, and first aid techniques.
This format is a good choice if you're new to first aid.
Blended Learning
Blended learning might include some online learning before your practical class. This can save you time in the classroom.
Online First Aid Courses
Online courses might include theory, quizzes, videos, and pre-learning. Most first aid courses still require a practical skills test.
Refresher Courses
If you've done a first aid course before, a refresher course might be the way to go. Check the entry requirements before you sign up.
Practical Assessment and Certificates
Most CPR courses include a practical skills test. This is to make sure you can actually do CPR and follow the first aid steps. You might have to do CPR on a mannequin lying on the floor - which is all part of showing that you know how to save lives in a first aid emergency.
Once you've met all the assessment requirements, you'll get a Statement of Attainment for the units you've completed - which can be pretty useful.
This can help out with:
- work
- study
- volunteering
- childcare
- sports
- getting on site or FIFO jobs
- licence renewals
- work first aid roles
Perth First Aid Certificate Renewal
The timing of renewal can depend on your workplace, job, site, or which study provider you're with.
CPR Renewal
Most people renew their CPR every 12 months - which is just common sense really. It keeps your resuscitation skills up to date - and means you can act with confidence if someone suddenly stops breathing.
First Aid Renewal
Most people renew HLTAID 011 Provide First Aid every 3 years - which is important to stay on top of first aid knowledge and basic emergency life support.
Childcare First Aid Renewal
If you work in childcare or education, bring it up with your workplace to see what the rules are on renewal. Many employers want staff to keep HLTAID 012 up to date.
Expired Certificates
If your certificate has expired, you may need to go back and do the whole course again.
Check the entry requirements before booking your refresher just to be sure.
