Challenging situations, such as multiple casualty incidents, having to move or extricate casualties, or treating potentially fatal illnesses and injuries are high risk. It is imperative that training occurs to be able to know what to do when confronted with a real-life incident. This course provides practical simulated real-life situations to learn and gain the confidence to coordinate and manage a response and provide advanced first aid in line with legal, community and workplace considerations, Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and other Australian national peak clinical bodies until emergency services arrive.

This course includes instruction on first aid and CPR, as well as treatments specific to advanced conditions, such as hypothermia or hyperthermia, head, neck and spinal injuries, using tourniquets and haemostatic dressings for life-threatening bleeding, managing a casualty in shock and providing oxygen in a range of complex situations, including community and workplace settings. Simulated real-life situations will be used to develop the skills and knowledge for using and maintaining specialised equipment for the provision of first aid, resuscitation, and oxygen therapy.

    • If you are unfamiliar with using computers and online training and assessment. Select this “face to face” course.

    • The theory + First Aid Incident Report is delivered face to face (multiple choice delivered verbally, with the learner marking answer in writing), during the course. Hence if learners would have difficulty completing a pre-course on-line assessment, or who’s learning style is more kinaesthetic or practical focused, this modality better suits these learners, and is the preferred modality when we deliver training on community.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advanced first aid and resuscitation course set?

The advanced first aid and resuscitation course set combines two nationally recognised qualifications — HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid and HLTAID015 Provide Advanced Resuscitation and Oxygen Therapy — into a single, efficient training program. It is the most comprehensive first aid qualification available through Redpath Education, covering everything from multiple casualty management to oxygen therapy and specialised resuscitation equipment.

Who is the advanced first aid and resuscitation course set suitable for?

The advanced first aid and resuscitation course set is ideal for workplace first aid officers, safety personnel, healthcare workers, and team leaders who need the highest level of first aid and resuscitation competency. It is particularly suited to those working in high-risk or remote environments across Central Australia, the NT, SA, and WA where access to emergency services may be limited.

What units are included in the advanced first aid and resuscitation course set?

The course set includes five nationally recognised units: HLTAID015 Provide Advanced Resuscitation and Oxygen Therapy, HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid, HLTAID011 Provide First Aid, HLTAID010 Provide Basic Emergency Life Support, and HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

How does the advanced first aid and resuscitation course set differ from doing each course separately?

Completing the advanced first aid and resuscitation course set means you gain all five units in a single enrolment, rather than completing HLTAID014 and HLTAID015 as separate courses at different times. This is a more time-efficient and cost-effective way to achieve both qualifications together.

How long does the advanced first aid and resuscitation course set take?

The advanced first aid and resuscitation course set is available in two delivery formats. The online with face-to-face assessment option requires a minimum of 8 hours of face-to-face contact. The fully face-to-face option runs for a minimum of 18 hours across 2 days.

How long are the advanced first aid and resuscitation certificates valid for?

The advanced first aid and resuscitation course set has mixed renewal periods. HLTAID014, HLTAID011, and HLTAID010 are valid for 36 months. HLTAID015 and HLTAID009 (CPR) require annual renewal every 12 months, in line with industry recommendations.

Are there any prerequisites for the advanced first aid and resuscitation course set?

There are no formal prerequisites listed for this course set. However, as it is an advanced-level program, participants should be aware that the content and practical assessments are more demanding than standard first aid training. Please contact Redpath Education if you are unsure whether this course is right for you.

What are the physical requirements for the advanced first aid and resuscitation course set?

Participants must be able to perform CPR on the floor applying both breaths and compressions, work with a partner in on/off-floor scenarios, and complete all practical demonstrations including the use of bag-valve-masks, oxygen equipment, and AED. Functional written and spoken English is also required for accurate verbal reporting during assessments.

Which delivery option is right for me?

If you are comfortable with computers and online learning, the online with face-to-face assessment option is the most time-efficient way to complete the advanced first aid and resuscitation course set. If you prefer hands-on, practical learning or are less confident with technology, the fully face-to-face option is recommended and is the preferred delivery method when training is conducted on community.

Where can I do an advanced first aid and resuscitation course near me?

Redpath Education delivers the advanced first aid and resuscitation course set in Alice Springs and across the Barkly, Central Desert, and MacDonnell Regions, as well as on the NPY Lands and Ngaanyatjarra.
