Why do I need Childcare First Aid?

Approved by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA), HLTAID012 Provide an Emergency First Aid Response in an Education and Care Setting meets most occupational licencing requirements for teachers, educators, support staff, centre and family day care staff, including first aid, asthma and anaphylaxis training requirements under the Education and Care Services National Law and the Education and Care Services National Regulations (2011).

How do I get qualified for Childcare First Aid?

HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting is a mix of knowledge (theory) and  practical (skills).

If you complete the Face-to-Face course, you will be assessed on the knowledge requirements in-class.

If you complete the Learning Online course, you will be assessed on the knowledge requirements online.

Practical assessment is completed in-class for both courses as you must be observed performing your first aid skills by a registered trainer.

How do I do Childcare First Aid Learning Online?

A more efficient way to complete a Childcare First Aid module, Learning Online gives students the freedom to  complete the knowledge tasks of the course via their student portal prior to coming to class. The amount of time spent in the classroom with an accredited Childcare First Aid trainer is therefore shortened to just 2 hours as the only thing left to do is the practical assessment.
