Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions
What first aid & CPR training do you offer that’s suitable for school staff?
Results First Aid provides nationally recognised, fully accredited first aid courses that are suitable for school staff. These include CPR (HLTAID009) and Provide First Aid including CPR (HLTAID011). We also offer specialised courses like Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting (HLTAID012) which covers asthma, anaphylaxis and other common school first aid topics.
Can your first aid training be delivered at my school?
Yes. Results First Aid can deliver on-site training at your school or education facility for groups of 10 or more. On-site training saves time and helps ensure all required staff complete training together. Results First Aid also offers flexible schedules to allow staff to be trained early in the morning or later in the day at a time that suits the school and staff.
What first aid qualifications do school staff need in Victoria?
In Victoria, schools must ensure staff have current first aid and CPR training that meets recognised standards. Typically this includes HLTAID011 Provide First Aid (every 3 years) and HLTAID009 CPR (every 12 months). This aligns with education and occupational safety policy requirements of the Victorian government.
How long are the first aid certificates valid for?
• CPR certificates (HLTAID009) are valid for 12 months from issue.
• Provide First Aid certificates (HLTAID011 or HLTAID012) are valid for 3 years from completion.
What topics are covered in the Provide First Aid & Education setting course?
This course covers essential emergency response skills like CPR, choking management, asthma and anaphylaxis response, as well as unconsciousness and recovery position, bleeding control, injuries, and use of an AED. The course is tailored for general and education/childcare contexts.
Do students receive first aid training like school staff?
Results First Aid training is primarily for adults. However, many schools partner with community programs (e.g., state or national initiatives) to deliver age-appropriate first aid education to students, focusing on lifesaving skills like calling emergency services and basic CPR awareness.
What about concussion awareness training for schools?
Due to the increased awareness of the need to quickly treat concussion injuries in children at school, Results First Aid now offers concussion awareness training free as part of any group First Aid Training session booked for your school or early learning centre.
What about First Aid Training for staff at Early Learning Centres?
We offer the same First Aid and CPR training to staff at Early Learning Centres and Kindergartnes as we do for staff at any primary or secondary schools.
How can our school arrange group training or ask questions?
Anyone responsible for organising first aid training in a school can contact Results First Aid via phone at 1300 661 065 or via email at training@resultsfirstaid.com. It is fast, simple and easy to organise on-site training, ask about schedules, or request a quote. Our friendly, efficient and helpful staff will respond to any request for assistance or answer any questions promptly
Can blended online learning be used for school staff first aid training?
Yes! Results First Aid offers blended options where theory can be completed online first and then practical skills completed face-to-face. Blended online learning enables flexible scheduling of training for school staff.
Is first aid training mandatory for teachers and education aides?
While specific requirements vary by state and employer, schools generally must ensure a sufficient number of teachers and/or admin staff are trained in first aid so that there are always enough trained personnel on duty on any school day. However, many schools require or strongly encourage all teachers and aides to maintain current first aid and CPR certifications.
What if our school needs refresher or renewal training?
Results First Aid runs regular public classes at their training centre in Truganina which school staff can attend. Or we can organise refresher courses on-site to help schools ensure staff meet renewal timeframes for both CPR and first aid certifications.
