CPR‑Only Option

If you have already completed your HLTAID011 Provide First Aid course within the past 12 months, you are eligible to enrol in the CPR‑only component of this training. CPR skills must be refreshed every year to remain current, and this option allows you to update your HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation unit without repeating the full First Aid course.

Participants choosing the CPR‑only pathway must still complete the required online learning modules before attending the face‑to‑face session.
