Pricing & inclusions (what affects cost)

Face training prices vary by course code, venue, day of week, and class length.
Blended delivery can be cost-effective because the class time is shorter.
Look for inclusions: digital certificate, pre-course e-learning, AED practice, and trainer support.

Tip: If you need both First Aid and CPR, you only need to book into HLTAID011 as it includes CPR training and you will be issued with HLTAID009 on your certificate as well as first aid.

FAQs (quick answers)

How long does a Melbourne first aid certificate last?

First Aid is commonly valid for 3 years; CPR should be updated annually.

Can I do the whole course online?

No. You need an in-person practical component to meet assessment rules.

What if I’m nervous about assessment?

Tell your assessment trainer at the start. You’ll get clear instructions and a chance to practise before you’re assessed.

Minimum age and ID?

Many providers accept students 14+ with guardian consent. Bring photo ID and your Unique Student Identifier.

Do I receive a certificate the same day?

Many Melbourne providers issue same-day certificates once your result is recorded and your USI is verified.

Is the training up to date?

Yes. Content follows current guidance so your first aid education is up to date.

Are first aid courses tax deductible?

If the training relates to your current job, you might be able to claim it. Check with the ATO or your tax adviser.

Do you run refresher sessions?

Yes—book aid refresher courses, including the annual CPR update.

How a typical class runs

  1. Online theory (blended only): read, watch demos, and complete short quizzes in your online workbook.

  2. Class session: demonstrations, guided practice, and scenarios.

  3. Assessment: theory check (as required) and the hands-on tasks with your assessment trainer.

  4. Certificate: digital issue, often the same day.
