Provide First Aid (Blended Delivery)

ERGT Australia’s first aid course is designed for personnel who may be required to provide a first aid response to a range of injuries and medical conditions in a high risk workplace setting.

When conducted at ERGT, practical exercises are conducted in a simulated workplace setting and contextualised with relevant workplace risks, mechanisms of injury and response processes.

Primarily delivered as blended learning, the course is made up of a self-paced online component completed prior to attending, followed by a practical day at an ERGT centre or client site.

Client Site 

• The high-risk workplace simulation scenario will be customised as per the site logistics and design.

If you are unsure if this is the correct course for you, please check with your employer for specific training requirements for your role.

Structure and Assessment 

This course is based on blended delivery including 7 online components each with a learning check quiz at the end. It must be completed prior to attending the practical day.

On completion of the online component, attendance on a practical day at ERGT is required. During this day trainees have an opportunity to practice their skills in simulated workplace scenarios accompanied by written and practical assessments. The practical day must be completed within 30 days of completing the online component.
