From diabetic emergencies to food allergies, to mild concussions and choking incidents, there are so many life-threatening medical incidents worth having First Aid and CPR Training for.
Not to mention, the more First Aiders you have on-site, the easier it is to coordinate field trips, school camps, and manage incidents when certified employees are absent.
Here’s why Australian Institute of Training Solutions is the best choice to certify your staff with First Aid and CPR Training.
1. We’ll come to you!
We know it can be challenging (and costly) to have teachers to take time off to complete their First Aid and CPR Training. Not only do you have to organise staff who can cover their classes, but you have to pay the teachers taking the days off as well.
Instead, we can come to your school and train up to 15 people at once with a group discount. This is a fantastic option for any Perth-based schools, and even schools based in greater Perth and surrounding areas.
We can even do training in two half-day sessions, making it easier to cover lessons, and allowing neighbouring teachers to take in additional students for a short, pre-coordinated length of time.
2. More certified First Aiders means shared responsibility
Being the sole First Aider on site and constantly pulled out of class to tend to emergencies can be highly disruptive. That’s why being able to train up to 15 people at once is so valuable!
With an even distribution of First Aiders on site, the responsibility can be shared across staff, making it easier to rotate shifts and ensure there are enough certified staff available when other staff are unavailable.
3. We offer demonstrative, short-duration courses
Our flexible, First Aid & CPR Certification can be completed in a single day, and still includes a practical component to ensure you get the hands on learning you need to act in an emergency.
Not only is this excellent value for money, but it means you don’t have to take a lot of time away from your class to get certified. No more commuting into the Perth CBD for a full-day of training, when you can be done by lunchtime and back with your class by the afternoon.
4. We offer an education setting specific First Aid course
HTLAID012 Provide First Aid in Education and Care Setting ensures you are not only getting trained for the most essential scenarios and incidents in an education setting, but you’re also getting trained on how to document and report incidents to parents, caregivers and authorities where needed.
This ensures you feel confident to have those important conversations with parents, to be able to reassure them, and maintain strong, positive relationships with them.
Student learning
Did you know our South Perth-based, First Aid courses are suitable for secondary school students too? If you have students who require First Aid training as part of a traineeship or certification they are undertaking (e.g. childcare, construction, plumbing, etc.) we can offer group bookings to accommodate your students getting trained at the same time.
Note: there is no minimum age requirement, however, individuals under 18 years are required to have parental consent and be physically fit to perform continuous CPR for 2 minutes straight during the practical exam.
It’s better to be prepared
If anything were ever to happen in a classroom, or while on playground duty, having staff who know what to do and feel confident to respond makes it significantly easier to manage the situation.
It also makes it easier to address any concerns parents may have when your staff are knowledgeable and trained to be able to respond quickly, minimise damage, and potentially save a child’s life.
