First aid is one of the most important courses for anyone to take, as you never know when someone might need life-saving help.
This first aid certificate course is a comprehensive course that refreshes unit standards 6401 and 6402, plus the serious conditions covered in level 3 (unit standard 6400). Level 3 content can be optionally disabled to shorten the course, and bring it down to level 2. However, many of these modules are genuinely useful for many workplace environments.
Please note that you can divide your trainees into groups, some of whom might do all modules, and some who might only do the level 2 modules. Here's how to set up groups , and here's how to select modules for each group.
It has several optional modules to enable managers to fine-tune the content for employees. The following modules come with the course, but can be disabled either across all trainees or for specific groups:
Wounds and workplace injuries
