HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting

This unit covers all the aspects of general first aid and first aid in the workplace as well as provides additional training in anaphylaxis and asthma specific to the childcare industry as per  ACECQA

This unit is specifically designed for those actively working in the childcare industry, such as teachers / childcare workers.

Participants of this unit must be actively engaged in the childcare industry and have an understanding of the legislation and policies of ACEQCA. Participants not in the childcare industry have no benefit in completing this unit and should complete the normal HLTAID011 Provide First Aid if they require a first-aid certificate.

Basic numeracy and literacy skills are needed to attend this course. Access to a computer with internet capability is required to complete the online learning module – as is also basic computer skills eg ability to open files, web browsers etc. using ideally the latest version of CHROME as your web browser.

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.

HAVING PROBLEMS with online work completion ? The most common problem that we find students have from an IT point of view with the online learning packages is “browser” related. Please contact us if you have any issues

We use online assessments via the student Learner Portal for this unit. A smart phone or laptop, fully charged with internet access is required. It is the students 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.

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. Participants will also be required to demonstrate various practical skills including application of slings etc

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 3+ hours to less than an hour. Completion of this online module is required prior to attending the face-to-face session

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.

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.

All public first aid courses use the REACTIVE BLENDED FORMAT

OR

Full face-to-face delivery – completion of a short online learning module is required for this delivery method. This online module will take approx 1 – 2 hours, it is also our recommendation to read the first aid book available on our website.
