Yes. FirstAidPro as an RTO is required to offer students the opportunity to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) toward units of competence or qualification for courses enrolled in. While the application for RPL may be made anytime, you are encouraged to do so before starting the training program. For more details on Recognition Guidelines and for information on the process of applying for RPL, please read Booking Terms & Conditions.

Whilst there are some restrictions, we believe everyone should have the skills to save a life. At FirstAidPro, it’s a requirement that anyone under 18 years of age provides us with written consent from their parent/guardian prior to participating in any FirstAidPro courses. The minimum age allowed to attend our course is 14 years of age (with parental consent). Please download and complete our Parent/Guardian Consent Form HERE and email the completed form to courses@firstaidpro.com.au prior to class attendance. This is the student/parent’s responsibility. FirstAidPro holds no responsibility if this is not completed and the student is refused entry to the desired class. Adults of any age may enrol as long as they are able to physically meet the course practical task requirement of performing CPR for 2 minutes in a kneeling position on the floor.

The Act places responsibility on the employer and self-employed to ensure that any person, not only employees, is safe from injury and risks to health.

Therefore, the level of risk in your workplace and the type of work will determine the number of designated first aid staff members required to be on duty to provide first aid. Designated first aiders will be required to hold a current statement of attainment or will need to obtain a nationally recognized qualification under the new code of practice.

The Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Act 1986 sets out the essential aspects of First Aid that employers have to address. Employers have a legal duty to make arrangements to ensure their employees receive immediate attention.
