In a relaxed and enjoyable environment, you will achieve the skills and knowledge required to effectively provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines. This course (HLTAID009) is included in our Provide First Aid (HLTAID011) course.
At FirstAid Advantage, we make it easy to get your CPR certification by offering two nationally recognised training options, both aligned with the latest Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines.
Our Face-to-Face CPR Course delivers all learning and assessment in a supportive classroom environment. You’ll participate in interactive, instructor-led training where you can ask questions, build confidence, and practice skills with immediate feedback.
Benefits of the Face-to-Face Course:
Learn directly from qualified trainers with real-world experience.
Immediate support and clarification on any questions you have.
Ideal for those who prefer in-person interaction and hands-on practice throughout the session.
Complete all learning and assessment in one session, no pre-work required (pre-reading available).
Our Blended CPR Course allows you to complete the theory and knowledge assessment online at your own pace before attending a short, face-to-face practical session to demonstrate your skills.
Benefits of the Blended Course:
Study anytime, anywhere with flexible online learning.
Save time with a shorter in-person session focused only on practical skills.
Ideal for busy professionals who prefer to complete theory in advance.
Access learning materials online for future reference.
Both courses result in the same nationally recognised certification, but the learning experience is tailored to your preferences:
Prefer a structured, fully guided session with trainer-led learning? Choose Face-to-Face.
Prefer to study online in your own time, then attend a briefer practical assessment? Choose Blended.
Face-to-Face: 4 hours, Normally 8am to 11am
Blended: Online Learning: Up to 3 hours, Face-to-Face Practical: 1 hour
Face-to-Face: $79.00 per participant. GST Free
Blended: $69.00 per student. GST Free.
We offer flexible delivery options for businesses and community groups seeking CPR or First Aid training. Our trainers can deliver the course on-site at your workplace, or you are welcome to attend one of our scheduled sessions at our dedicated training rooms.
Face-to-Face: A minimum charge equivalent to 8 participants applies to all private group bookings. This ensures we can provide the required resources, equipment, and trainer availability to deliver a high-quality training experience. For example, if fewer than 8 participants attend, the minimum charge for 8 still applies.
Blended: A minimum charge equivalent to 4 participants applies to all private group bookings.
For larger groups, additional participants can be accommodated at the applicable per-person rate.
