Knowing how to administer first aid is an important skill set that can help in various dangerous situations that you might encounter both at work and in your personal life. The MultiSkills first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) course is designed to teach you how to respond in these types of situations. By undertaking this training youโ€™ll learn the practical skills required when providing first aid in an emergency situation, including helping with life support and giving medical assistance, contacting emergency response authorities to alert them to the details of an incident, and administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

The CPR learning aspect of the first aid certificate you will be undertaking will ensure that students who have completed this course are able to maintain breathing and circulation in an adult, child or infant following cardiac arrest. The content strictly adheres to the Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines.

This 1 day course will teach you the skills to:

  • Respond in an emergency situation
  • Apply appropriate first aid procedures
  • Communicate details of the incident
  • Evaluate your own performance

Participants who complete the MultiSkills first aid course will be assessed through written activities, verbal questions, observation and practical demonstration. Upon successful completion, you will receive a Statement of Attainment for HLTAID011 Provide First Aid and HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Recognised Prior Learning (RPL)

MultiSkills Training has reviewed the structure and delivery of this unit and determined that Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is not offered for this course.

Due to the short duration of the program, the time and effort required for a student to gather sufficient evidence and complete a formal RPL application is likely to exceed the time it would take to complete the training and assessment. In addition, the RTO resources required to assess and validate RPL applications for this course make the process not viable or efficient in this context.

This decision aligns with the guidance outlined in the Outcome Standards Policy Guidance (Standards for RTOs 2025), which recognises that RPL may not be appropriate or practical in all circumstances.

MultiSkills Training is committed to transparency and fairness. Information regarding RPL is also available in our Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning Policy, which is available on our resources page. In addition, our administrative team is available to discuss this with you upon request.

Completed the two day forklift course and I must say Iโ€™ve come a long way. I didnโ€™t feel comfortable nor had the belief in myself that Iโ€™d successfully pass the course! Macca was a big help in that getting me over the line, taking his time in assessing me and answering any questions I had. Iโ€™m grateful I was able to have him as my trainer and assessor I can definitely say my confidence to operator a forklift has improved compared to how I was when I first started!

Had Kit as my teacher, super informative and adjusts his teaching to the classes experience level which makes the courses less dry for people with prior experience.

Iโ€™ve had Adam for my dogging, basic rigging and intermediate rigging. He has a lot of knowledge in the industry and highly recommend getting your high risk work licenses through Multiskills.
