popular First Aid Training for returning clients and anyone who maintains their qualifications annually. The course includes HLTAID001 Provide
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), principles of first aid for the
workplace first aider, plus many other topics including bleeding, broken
bones, choking, administering an Epi-Pen and asthma medication.
