This course goes way beyond basic first aid - you'll do practical exercises, written work and real emergency scenarios - and you'll come out with the skills and knowledge to handle complex emergencies and lead other first aiders until the medical team gets there.
They gather evidence of your performance through all sorts of activities - like practical demonstrations, scenario-based exercises and written assessments.
HLTAID014 vs HLTAID011 - What's the Key Difference?
They're both nationally recognised first aid courses - but they cover completely different ground.
HLTAID011 Provide First Aid
HLTAID011 Provide first aid courses are the standard workplace first aid certificate. It covers:
- Cardiac arrest and CPR
- Using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Common injuries and illnesses
- Looking after someone until the ambulance arrivesIt's a good fit for low to medium-risk workplaces and it's the bare minimum in first aid training for most general workplaces.
HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid
HLTAID014 is a whole different story. This advanced first aid course goes way further than the basics. It covers:
- Doing a proper clinical assessment and taking someone's vital signs
- Advanced resuscitation stuff like CPR and using an AED
- How to give oxygen and manage someone's airway
- Handling spinal injuries
- Triage - deciding who needs help first in a multi-casualty situation
- Leading a first aid response when there are lots of people involved
They mean 'advanced' by the depth of the stuff you're learning - not that it's super hard or anything. If you want to be genuinely ready for serious emergencies - not just ticking a box because you have to - then this is the right first aid training course for people working in Adelaide.
What is the Advanced First Aid Course All About?
The HLTAID014 training course covers a bunch of first aid procedures and advanced techniques over two days of hands-on training.
Learning to Assess and Help Someone
You learn how to run a proper assessment of a person who's been hurt. This means taking and recording vital signs - things like pulse, blood pressure, breathing, temperature and how conscious they are. This stuff is the foundation of making good decisions in an emergency.
Practising Advanced Resuscitation
You get to practice doing CPR on a non-breathing adult and a non-breathing baby - using a dummy. You also learn how to use soft bag resuscitation, an AED and how to give someone oxygen with special equipment.
Keeping Someone's Airway Safe
You learn how to use special equipment like oropharyngeal airways and suction devices to help keep someone's airway clear and protected if they're not conscious.
Dealing with Trauma and Wounds
First aid for trauma includes:
- Life-threatening bleeding - using tourniquets and packing wounds
- Non-life-threatening bleeding
- Burns and broken bones
- Spinal injuries
- Ears that get hurt
- Getting too hot or having minor cuts and scrapes
Triage and Managing Multiple Casualties
You learn how to triage in a multi-casualty situation - deciding who needs help first and managing the situation. This is a really important skill for high-risk workplaces, big public events like at Adelaide Oval or Festival Plaza, and complex emergencies.
Handling Medical Emergencies
The course covers first aid for a range of medical emergencies:
- Anaphylaxis and asthma
- Heart issues and strokes
- Seizures and diabetic emergencies
- Mental health crises
- People affected by illicit drugs or alcohol
You learn to spot the signs of each condition and how to handle them.
Working with Advanced Equipment
You get to use special equipment in practice - including oxygen delivery systems, special resuscitation units and suction devices. Your skills are put to the test to make sure you can use this stuff properly.
Leading a First Aid Response
You learn how to lead a team of first aiders - coordinating what other first aiders are doing, speaking to emergency services, filling in first aid incident reports and looking after yourself after an incident.
Who Needs Advanced First Aid Training in Adelaide?
HLTAID014 is the required or recommended course for a bunch of roles across community and workplace settings in Adelaide. This training is for anyone who might need to respond in a high-risk or complex environment.
Construction Workers
Adelaide is a hotbed of construction - with big projects in the CBD, suburbs and outer areas. Workers on commercial builds, infrastructure projects and residential developments face injury risks every day. HLTAID014 is the recommended course for designated first aiders on high-risk sites under SafeWork SA.
Mining and Resources Workers
South Australia's got a big mining and resources sector - from Olympic Dam to remote operations across the state. For workers in remote or isolated locations, having the skills to provide an extended advanced first aid response is a game-changer.
Workplace First Aid Officers
SafeWork SA expects employers to assess workplace risks and make sure they have suitable first aiders on staff. For large workforces or high-risk operations - from office blocks near North Terrace to warehouses in the northern and southern suburbs - HLTAID014 is a good standard to aim for.
Security Personnel
Security staff at venues, shopping precincts and public spaces across Adelaide are often the first people to deal with medical emergencies. Advanced first aid training is expected for security pros in South Australia.
Hospitality and Events Workers
Hospitality staff and events workers at places like Festival Plaza, Adelaide Oval and Rundle Mall often deal with emergencies. Advanced first aid training is becoming more and more important for this kind of work.Adelaides food and event scene- Gougers Street restaurants, the Central Market traders and off course the nightlife on Hindley Street are all backed by major events at Adelaide Oval and Festival Plaza - all of this creates a huge need for people who can deal with a medical emergency when things get busy in a public place. Having advanced first aid skills gives hotel and events staff the confidence to look after people until the proper help arrives.
Students and Early Career Workers
Adelaide is home to a large student population with UniSA, the University of Adelaide and Flinders University all calling the city home . Loads of students and casual workers need to have first aid certification in order to get into childcare, aged care, disability support or other jobs. HLTAID014 is a valuable qualification that's a lot more than just the bare minimum.
Schools, Education, and Childcare
Teachers, school staff, camp leaders and anyone working in childcare with HLTAID014 will have the skills to deal with medical emergencies involving kids or babies & members of their family - including things like infant resuscitation, anaphylaxis and dealing with big groups of casualties in schools and outdoor settings.
Aged Care and Community Services Workers
With a big and growing aged care sector in Adelaide, HLTAID014 is a solid credential for carers and support workers to know they can deal with complex medical emergencies in the community and residential care settings.
Course Format, Duration, and Prerequisites
Face-to-Face Training
- Minimum 16 hours face to face
- Generally spread over two days
- Best for people who learn best by doing things for themselves.
- You get a lot of one on one time with your trainer
Blended Learning
- Do the online theory bit before you show up for the in-person bit

- You need to do the online bit before you can come and do the in-person session

You will also need to show that you are physically able to - 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR on an adult manikin on the floor and doing some practical on an infant resuscitation manikin
Adelaide Locations and Course Times
We run courses in loads of different locations - including the CBD, Salisbury, Glenelg, Marion, and other spots. We do have weekend and evening sessions available. If you work for a company or group we can even come to you - we will do courses on site for as few as 4 people.
Certification, Renewal, and Refresher Training
What Certificate Will I Get?
When you finish HLTAID014 you will get a Statement of Attainment from Allens Training Pty Ltd RTO 90909. Depending on what else you have done in the past your certificate might also include things like HLTAID009 CPR or HLTAID011 Provide First Aid - all of these will be accepted by employers all across Australia and comply with first aid guidelines set out by the likes of SafeWork Australia and the ARC. Loads of the providers in Adelaide will even give you the certificate on the spot.
How Long Does the Certification Last For?
- HLTAID014 - you need to renew every three years
- HLTAID009 CPR - this one needs to be renewed every 12 months - that's because the ARC say so
You can get refresher training through the FindTraining Adelaide system if you want to renew your existing first aid certification without having to do the whole thing all over again
Weekend and Same-Day Certificate Courses in Adelaide
We know people need advanced first aid and they need it fast - so we run courses on Saturdays and Sundays in the CBD, Salisbury, Marion and Glenelg. We even do evening courses for people who cant make it during the day. And the best bit - loads of our providers will give you your certificate on the same day
Passing the Theory - What to Expect
HLTAID014 has a lot of information to take in and some people get a bit caught out with it - especially if they are doing the blended learning course and have to do the online theory first.
Useful tips to help you out
- Make sure you get the core frameworks - like DRSABCD, AVPU , primary and secondary assessment, and basic triage
- Dont try to memorise everything - it all makes a lot more sense once you are doing the hands on work
- The assessments are scenario based and are designed to test what you can do - not what you can recite from memory
- Our trainers in the FindTraining Adelaide network are all real people who have done the real thing - some are still working as paramedics.
When you do your practical you get to do real scenario based role plays and demonstrations and not some boring written exam.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is HLTAID014 required for construction sites in South Australia?
For workplaces that have a high risk of injury, SafeWork SA advises that you need to have a higher level of first aid training than the standard HLTAID011. In that case HLTAID014 is the course that is recommended for designated first aiders on high risk sites. The level of training that you should do depends on the type of work you're doing, how many workers are on site and exactly how dangerous the job is.
Do Adelaide students who are going to be doing work placements need to do HLTAID014?
There are a couple of sectors where students in Adelaide (like in childcare, aged care, disability support, fitness and allied health) need to have first aid certification for placements and casual jobs. HLTAID014 is a better standard to aim for because it's more comprehensive and is seen as a strong credential by employers in those areas.
Can I do HLTAID014 completely online?
No, you can't do it online from start to finish. The way the course is set up is that you do the theory part online before heading in to do the practical bit. You do need to do that last bit in person because it involves showing people you can do things like in a real emergency.
What's the difference between HLTAID014 and HLTAID015?
HLTAID014 covers things like triage, leading a first aid response, and how to do a clinical assessment. It also touches on trauma care. On the other hand HLTAID015 is specifically about advanced resuscitation and how to use oxygen equipment. You can do both in one course at a number of providers in Adelaide.
Is there refresher training available in Adelaide?
Yes, there is. If you've already got a first aid qualification you can do a refresher with some providers on the FindTraining Adelaide network. Check with the individual providers to see what the requirements are in that case.
Are there weekend courses for HLTAID014 in Adelaide?
Yes, there are. Lots of providers in the city, as well as in places like Salisbury, Marion and Glenelg, run weekend or evening courses for people who can't fit it in during the day.
How soon can I get my certificate?
Some providers in Adelaide can get the certificate to you on the same day you complete the course, if that's what you need. Check with your chosen provider when you book the course to see if that's an option.
Is HLTAID014 useful for miners and people who work in remote areas of South Australia?
Yes, it is. If you're working in a place that's a long way from help and can't get to a hospital in a hurry, then having the skills that HLTAID014 teaches - like oxygen therapy and how to check vital signs - can be really useful.
