Basic first aid, CPR (Primary care) and Secondary care.

The EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONSE – PRIMARY and SECONDARY Care combines both the latest in CPR and First Aid responding.
The program can be separated or conducted as one unit. This gives you the flexibility to just complete the CPR portion or use this section as an update. This course has the option to complete self-study before the course and this reduces classroom time.

• Basic First Aid $140

PRIMARY CARE (CPR, Choking, Serious bleeding)
Teaches you how to deal with emergencies that are immediately life threatening. During this portion of the program you will learn about protecting your self during rescues and you will use a Pocket mask, face shield and an Automatic External Defibrillator. You will focus on primary care with the help of knowledge development (supplemented by video and Instructor input), skill development and realistic scenario practice to make sure that you have the knowledge, understanding and confidence to use your skills.

Completion of the Primary care section keeps your “First Aid at Work” or “Senior First Aid” valid for another year and qualifies as a First Aid Update.

• CPR/ Primary care $ 95

SECONDARY CARE (Illness assesment, Injury assesment, Bandaging, Splinting)
Covers Injuries and illnesses that are not immediately life threatening, when the Ambulance is delayed or unavailable. You focus on Secondary assessment and First aid through knowledge development, skill development and realistic scenario practice.

• Secondary care only $ 95

These courses are simple, easy to complete with a minimal time commitment and meet the prerequisites for PADI Diver courses that require CPR and First Aid qualifications. These courses come with a manual to keep and a protection pack. Courses can run during the day or over one or two evenings at your location (number pending) or ours.

You will be amazed at how much you will learn in a short period of time and you will be surprised how much fun self-improvement courses can be.

FIRST AID AT WORK (SENIOR FIRST AID)

HLTFA301B Apply First Aid
HLTFA201A Provide Basic Emergency Life Support HLTCPR201A Perform CPR

The purpose of the “First Aid at Work” course is to educate you for a variety of situations that may arise in the work place or in just day-to-day life. This program expands on the Primary care, Secondary care, Caring for Children, AED operation and Work place legislation. Several pieces of first aid equipment like First Aid Kits, fire blankets, the use of pocket masks and AED’s will be discussed. If you would like to purchase equipment during the course just ask the trainer, items can be ordered in advance by contacting us or on our website.

This course follows the emergency consideration, guidelines and protocols of the Australian Resuscitation council and consensus view of the Basic Life Support (BLS) Working group of the International Liason Committee on Resuscitation (ILCORE).

Your Statement of attainment will be processed by the PADI Registered Training Organization (RTO) Id.#6729 and send to you upon confirmation of competence in all aspects of your training.

The course has its own First Aid manual and also comes with a personal protection pack in the form of a Keyring Face Mask or Pocket mask. Most commonly it is a one day course but some companies prefer the (3) evening option. A Self-study portion is possible and will reduce the classroom time. As our trainers have been to many work places we are able to offer some advice or suggestion on the First Aid set up at your work place.

OXYGEN RESUS COURSE

SRXEMR003A Administer Oxygen in a Emergency Situation HLTCPR201A Perform CPR

A very popular course for the Marine Industry. If you have an Oxygen unit or you are getting one, then this is the course for you. If you do not own a unit but your workplace does, then you will need to show competence in the use of the units and with this course we can help.

The Oxygen Resuscitation course can also be used to update your current First Aid certificate. The first portion will be spend on updating you with the latest CPR skills. The CPR will be judged by your trainer and can be brief if your skills are up to date.
Next we will cover different equipment styles and we will introduce the Bag Valve Mask. The bag valve mask is widely used in the dive industry as an economical way of reviving and providing 100% Oxygen to a breathing or non-breathing person. Other equipment that will be discussed is the Oxygen Therapy Masks, the pocket mask with oxygen inlet and the Manually Triggered Valve- MTV Head (if required). We will be looking at resuscitation with the equipment, the maintenance, the storage and testing of the gear.

• Oxygen resuscitation $125
• Oxygen resus update $95

As we are a mobile unit these courses can be conducted onboard your vessel for your staff, so everybody can get familiar with the equipment that they will be using. This course can also be combined with the use of AED’s.

AED’s Automatic External Defibrillators Orientation.

We call this an orientation, as AED’s will soon be as common as Fire extinguishers. That’s how it should be. Anybody should be able to grab it, plug it in and away we go. The success stories are numerous and the AED’s have shrunk in size and price so get one today! Nowadays the AED’s are found in many public places i.e. Airports, Sporting venues and at Shopping centres. If you provide an outdoor or indoor activity/ sport can you afford not to have one? The training for these units is minimal and can be combined with any other program.

• AED orientation / CPR course $95
• AED orientation during any of the above courses = $ Free

As always there are a few things that we should know about this equipment, so some professional information goes a long way. We will show you how to safely resuscitate and use the unit in a “wet” environment and also how to maintain and check the units for a “ready” start of the day.
