We hear it all the time —
“What course do I need for work?”
“Which First Aid course should I do if I want to be prepared for emergencies at home?”
“I work in child care, ,which certificate do I need?”
“Do I need CPR or First Aid?”
“What is the difference between remote and advanced First Aid?”
If you are confused by all the options, you’re not alone.
Whether it’s for your job, your family, or just peace of mind, knowing which first aid course is the right fit can feel confusing at first — but we’re here to make it simple.
Ask yourself:
Is this for your workplace? (Childcare, construction, hospitality, aged care, etc.)
Are you a parent, carer, or someone who wants to be prepared at home?
Do you need CPR only, or full First Aid certification?
Has your current certificate expired or is it due for renewal?
