Blended delivery or full face-to-face — without compromises

Not all First Aid courses or Blended First Aid courses are created equal.

Vital First Aid is providing delivery options that don’t compromise on participant knowledge or skills, but still allow the flexibility of full face-to-face delivery or blended delivery.

REACTIVE Blended Delivery — WITH A BIG DIFFERENCE

Traditional blended first aid courses require everyone to complete the same pre-course content, regardless of experience. At Vital First Aid, we do things differently.

Our cutting-edge, REACTIVE online module adapts to each participant’s knowledge. It automatically assesses your understanding of each topic, letting you skip what you know and focus on what you need—cutting pre-course time from over 1 hour to potentially less than 20 minutes.

This smarter learning happens before a shorter, focused face-to-face session (approx. 1.5 hours).

 You’ll arrive confident and better prepared, with the skills and knowledge needed to act in an emergency.

The Face-to-face is a more dynamic session, helping to consolidate knowledge.

Allows for all participants to simply turn up on the day of the course. Assessments are generally completed on-line in the participants Learner Portal which they will create prior to the course.

Award Issued

Nationally Recognised unit/s of Competence. Upon successful completion of all assessments and full attendance at the course, participants will be awarded: HLTAID009 Provide cardio pulmonary resuscitation

Course Duration

Reactive Blended delivery option duration is approx 1 1/2 hours excluding online module completion. Full Face-to-face delivery approx 3 hours. Finish times may vary slightly.

Unit Documents

For full details on this unit:

The HLTAID009 Provide cardio pulmonary resuscitation is a brand new unit and replaces the old HLTAID001 Provide Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation.

The unit provides participants with the skills and knowledge to assist in a cardiac arrest where CPR ( Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation ) is required. It covers all aspects of basic resuscitation as well as the use of defibrillators in the public setting.

Our Paramedical trainers will provide you with the best training available

In this course you will learn about

  • recognising a cardiac arrest
  • ensuring your safety
  • gaining assistance from emergency services
  • the correct method for performing CPR
  • using defibrillator
  • and more

This unit is designed for those who wish to gain a good understanding of CPR not only for those in the workplace but also for anyone wishing to learn how to perform this essential life-saving skill.

Hear from one of our students who required CPR less than a month after her course.

Only basic numeracy and literacy skills are needed to attend this course. Access to a computer with internet, as well as basic computer skills is required for completion of this unit. Completion of this unit does require the student to be able to get onto the floor to perform CPR – this is a licensing requirement of the unit.

If you have ANY special needs ( eg, language / literacy / numeracy difficulties, physical disabilities etc ) that you think may impact on your ability to complete this training please let us know prior to enrolling.

We use online assessments via the student Learner Portal for this unit. A “smart device” such as a smartphone, Ipad or laptop, fully charged with internet access is required. A tablet is the ideal sized device for this purpose, however, a smartphone is still fine to use. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure they have such a device and have gained prior access to their Learner Portal. Information on accessing their portal is available on their Confirmation email or by contacting our office. All participants of our courses must have basic computer skills. Computer / IT skills include the ability to access emails and follow links within those emails, complete online forms and create / access online profiles. If you can navigate Facebook as an example you would have no issues.

REACTIVE BLENDED Delivery – at Vital First Aid, we recognise that everyone attends first aid training with different levels of experience, so we have created a truly cutting-edge online module that is REACTIVE to the participants’ learning needs. The module automatically assesses the participants’ understanding of each subject area, allowing them to skip sections they have sound knowledge in, while providing extra support in areas they are not that familiar with – meaning completion time for the online module can reduce from around 1+ hours to less than 20 minutes. Completion of this online module is required prior to attending the face-to-face session

There will be a short quiz at the beginning of the course on the information contained in the videos, which is to enable the trainer to better guide the content of the course for you.

Completion of any online work requires access to a computer with internet capability, and the participant must have basic computer skills. Assistance is available if required by contacting our office.

All public courses use our Reactive Blended Format

OR

Full face-to-face delivery – we only suggest you read the section on CPR in the first aid book , otherwise there is no pre-course learning required

CPR refresher is recommended annually.

Most courses now use electronic online assessments during class. This means students will need to bring with them a smart device with an internet connection.

There is some theory and practical assessment to ensure that the participant has gained the required knowledge and confidence in the skills covered in the unit. You will be required, as per the Training Package, to complete 2 mins of CPR on a CPR manikin on the floor. Unfortunately, there are no exceptions to this requirement.

The HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) course is the NEW updated version of this course, replacing the superseded HLTAID001 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) from 2021
