This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to provide a first aid response to infants, children and adults.
The unit applies to educators and support staff working within an education and care setting who are required to respond to a first aid emergency, including asthmatic and anaphylactic emergencies.
This unit of competency must be updated every 3 years and the CPR component must be updated every 12 months to remain current.
What is Covered:
1. Respond to an emergency situation
2. Apply appropriate emergency first aid procedures
3. Communicate details of the incident

Mode of Study
All First Aid units of competency are completed in 2 stages:
Stage 1 - online pre-reading and written assessment requirements via the Asthma Foundation's online learning platform 'Learn It Live It'. This can also be completed as a written test on the day.
Stage 2 - face-to-face classroom practical assessment requirement
Students are required to complete both stages to be deemed competent.
The HLTAID011 and HLTAID012 units of competency are a full day in class; therefore, students are required to be in class from 9:30am – 5:00pm.
