When it comes to first aid training for your school, there is no room for compromise.
After all you and your staff are responsible for the wellbeing of hundreds, possibly thousands, of students every day. From playground injuries and sports incidents to allergic reactions, asthma attacks and unexpected medical emergencies, a school is a place where staff who are adequately trained in first aid is not just a requirement, it’s a vital necessity.
That’s why choosing the right provider to deliver First Aid & CPR training for your school is so important.
Remember not all training providers are equal. Schools need more than just a certificate - they need practical, relevant, flexible and supportive training that reflects real-life school environments. Delivered by trainer who really care about ensuring staff really know their skills and can be relied on at critical times.
At Results First Aid we are recognised as a specialist provider trusted by hundreds of schools across Victoria.
With over 4,000 five-star Google reviews, highly experienced trainers and flexible delivery options, we have built our reputation on delivering engaging, practical and school-focused training.
We care about you, the person organising the training, as much as we care for your staff. You will always find us responsive to your needs (yes we return calls and emails promptly!). We listen to your exact requirements and tailor not just the delivery of the training but the timing of it, to suit your needs.
Why First Aid Training is critical for schools
You already know that schools are unique environments with specific risks that differ from most other workplaces.
Teachers and staff at a school have to regularly deal with:
playground injuries
sports-related incidents
asthma attacks
anaphylaxis (severe allergic reactions)
choking
falls and fractures
head injuries and concussions
seizures
In almost every case, a teacher or a staff member will be the first responders.
Having properly trained staff means you can rest assured your school can deliver:
faster emergency response
improved student safety
reduced severity of injuries
greater confidence among teachers and staff
Most importantly, it ensures that your school will always be prepared when it matters most.
What to look for in a First Aid Training provider for your school
Choosing the right training provider is essential to get correct from the start. Here are the key factors you should look at when considering a first aid trainer for your school.
1. Experienced in training teachers & school staff
Not all first aid training is the same.
First aid trainers who regularly train workers in factories, warehouses or corporate offices may not be suitable for training teachers, teacher’s aides and school staff.
Schools need training that reflects real-life school scenarios, such as:
managing injuries during recess or sports
responding to allergic reactions in classrooms
dealing with asthma attacks
supervising multiple students during emergencies
Results First Aid specialises in training school staff. We train using realistic scenarios based on years of experience working with education providers.
This makes our training more relevant, practical and memorable.
2. Flexible training that works around your school’s schedule
One of the biggest challenges most schools face is how to schedule first aid and CPR training without disrupting regular school operations and teaching the kids.
That’s why flexibility is essential.
At Results First Aid we will work with you to discover the most suitable timing for your training and schedule the training sessions to work in with what suits you. We offer greater flexibility than most trainers including:
early morning training before school starts
after-school training sessions
professional development day training sessions
onsite delivery at your school (for 10 or more staff)
No matter how large your staff group is, training can be scheduled in a way that suits your timetable.
3. Onsite training at your school
Most schools prefer onsite training as the best option for them.
This means you don’t have to send teachers and staff offsite, because the training is delivered directly at your school.
The benefits of onsite training are many and include:
no travel time required for staff
the entire team can be trained together
it’s a familiar environment for staff learning
it makes for easier scheduling
Whether your school has 10 staff or 200+, Results First Aid can deliver training onsite at any school anywhere across Melbourne and Victoria.
4. Nationally recognised and accredited courses
The one thing you do NOT want is to be delivered training from a non-accredited trainer. Schools must ensure that staff receive nationally recognised first aid certification.
Results First Aid delivers fully accredited training that meets Australian standards.
This includes:
HLTAID012 – Provide First Aid in an Education & Care Setting (3-Year Certification)
This course covers:
comprehensive CPR training
managing injuries, sprains, cuts
treating burns, bleeding,
handling choking, including use of a dechoker
asthma and allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis
care for unconsciousness
emergency response procedures including using an AED
This is the standard qualification required for your school staff.
HLTAID009 – Provide CPR - (12-Month Renewal)
CPR skills are required to be updated every 12 months so we provide refresher training for your staff.
This course ensures your staff will remain confident and up to date in the proper procedures for:
performing CPR
using an AED
responding to cardiac emergencies
If required, we can also deliver:
HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid (3-Year Certification)
This course covers:
CPR
managing injuries
asthma and allergic reactions
unconscious casualty care
emergency response procedures
However most school staff, teachers, etc are required to be trained on HLTAID012.
5. Realistic school-based training scenarios
One of the biggest differences to training with Results First Aid is our real-world approach to training.
All our first aid & CPR courses include real-life scenarios such as:
playground injuries
sports field incidents
classroom medical emergencies
managing multiple students during an incident
This ensures staff are not just trained — they are fully prepared for any eventuality.
6. Supportive, friendly and engaging trainers
We believe training should never feel intimidating or be overly clinical. Nor should it be boring or delivered with some sort of authoritarian attitude.
At Results First Aid our trainers are known for being:
approachable and friendly
engaging, able to talk to everyone
supportive and considerate
easy to understand
They create a comfortable learning environment where staff feel confident asking questions and practising their skills.
Most importantly, your teachers and school staff will feel like someone genuinely cares about helping them feel prepared.
Bonus: Free concussion awareness training for schools
As part of our commitment to student safety, Results First Aid now includes a free concussion awareness training module with any First Aid training booking.
This is especially valuable for schools with:
sports programs
physical education classes
active playground environments
In this vital new training, staff learn how to:
recognise signs of concussion
respond appropriately
manage students safely
This additional training provides extra protection for students and peace of mind for schools.
Choose the best first aid training option for your school
At Results First Aid, we let you choose from our range of flexible training options to find the one that best suits your needs:
Onsite training at your school
For most schools, onsite training remains the preferred option, because it is the most convenient one.
With Results First Aid you can opt for your training to be delivered:
before school
after school
during staff development days
This allows your school to train staff without disrupting any classes.
Training at our Truganina Training Centre
If this suits your school, for whatever reason, you can opt to send your staff to our advanced, professional training facility at:
70 Foundation Rd, Truganina VIC
Across any given month, training options are available for almost any day of the week, including weekends, offering greater flexibility for smaller groups. Of course if a teacher or staff member was unable to attend the scheduled onsite training at your school, they can always come to our training centre to join a public class.
Blended Training (combined online + in-person practical training)
We also offer an option that is increasing in popularity – blended training. With blended training your staff can choose to
complete their theory online and then
attend a shorter face-to-face practical session
This reduces time away from teaching while maintaining the required hands-on learning necessary for practical skills such as CPR.
