HLTAID003 Provide First Aid

Student information

HLTAID003 Provide first aid includes two components in order for students to achieve competency.
Both the theory and practical components must be completed successfully before you can be deemed
competent for this unit.

Theory Practical Competent

assessment + demonstration = In First Aid

First Aid Process

1. At Session 1 of your course all students will be given the First Aid textbook, answers booklet and
answer sheet to complete which MUST be returned to trainers by Session 2.
2. At session 2 your trainer will collect your theory assessment answers with a 1 week turnaround to
mark.
3. At session 3 your trainer will provide students with feedback on the theory assessment to ensure all
students are either satisfactory or notify if a resubmit is required. If students are not satisfactory
on particular questions, you MUST provide your second attempt at those questions to your trainer
by the end of Session 3 or scanned/emailed prior to next session.
4. Session 4 is the Practical First Aid. Times for day class - 9.00am to 4.30pm - or if night class from
5pm – 9pm. Practical will occur at session 4 in all timetables.
5. After session 4 we will identify any students who are not in a position to continue in the Pathology
practicals or Aged Care & Health Services placement

First Aid Practical Policy

1. Options for student if absent/sick on day of practical:

a. If you are sick and provide a medical certificate, you can book into next available public
course at Blackburn location only, FREE of additional charge.
b. Students absent without notice or medical certificate you will be charged special public
course rate of $60 to complete at the Blackburn campus. You can obtain it elsewhere, but
must provide the Certificate to us by Session 5 of their timetable.
c. In both instances above, Head Office will email and SMS the student directly, so please
ensure that you are responding.
2. Should a student fail to obtain their First Aid certificate, either through All Health Training or by
Credit Transfer from another institution by week 5 this may jeopardise the student’s ability to be
booked for placement or continue practicals in the lab environment.
