Course Description
This course is a requirement of leading industry bodies. However, please note that it does not result in a nationally recognised qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).
This course provides participants with the essential knowledge and skills to use safe infection practices in any setting.
We have several modes:
STANDARD COURSE
The Standard face-to-face course spans a longer duration and emphasizes comprehensive training in both skills and knowledge. It includes practical assessments, thoroughly preparing students for these evaluations on the assessment day. This course is particularly beneficial for students who need to practice their skills before participating in the practical assessments. Since First Aid training is refreshed every three years, unless students regularly engage in hands-on workplace training, we recommend opting for the standard course.
EXPRESS COURSE
The Express face-to-face course, on the other hand, is shorter in duration and focuses exclusively on practical assessments. This session does not include preparation for the assessments, as students are expected to arrive with a certain level of practical experience. Ideal for those who have previously completed a first aid course and regularly participated in hands-on workplace training, the Express course is tailored for experienced students. Any additional training needed to complete the practical assessments on the day may incur an extra fee or lead to a recommendation to attend a standard course.
Course Topics
- Identify the role of infection prevention and control in the work setting.
