Online learning: Students must have basic digital literacy skills to navigate online platforms, complete assessments, and access course materials. Before enrolment, students should assess their ability to engage in online learning. Support is available where required. The online learning program can be found in the student portal. Students must have access to a computer, smart phone, tablet or other electronic device with access to the internet to complete the online studies and associated assessment tasks.

Delivery mode: Online with face-to-face - The online pre-course learning and theory assessment is expected to take approximately 3 hours to complete. These timeframes are estimates. Individuals with prior experience in similar training may complete the online component in less time, while those new to the subject may need more time to complete all the learning content and theory questions.

Before attending your HLTAID010 – Provide Basic Emergency Life Support practical session, please ensure you:

• Complete any required online pre-learning before your face-to-face session
  • Bring valid photo identification
  • Wear comfortable clothing suitable for practical emergency response activities, including kneeling and performing CPR on the floor
  • Arrive on time for your scheduled session
  • Inform us before the course if you have any physical limitations, medical concerns, or learning support needs
  • Be prepared to participate in practical emergency response scenarios, CPR practice, AED use, recovery position, choking response, basic bleeding management, and other required assessment activities.

Because the course includes CPR assessment, learners must be prepared to kneel on the floor and perform CPR on a manikin as part of the practical assessment requirements.

Students are required to complete a self evaluation against the following core skills as part of the enrolment process. This will allow your trainer to understand any additional support that may be required during the course delivery and assessment.
