Practical Training and Assessment
The Practical Training and Assessment component of the HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting course is where participants gain the essential first aid skills needed to respond effectively in real-life emergencies. This comprehensive training is specifically tailored for childcare workers, educators, and support staff working in early learning centres, schools, and family day care environments, ensuring you are fully prepared for any situation that may arise in an education and care setting.
During the practical training, you’ll engage in hands-on activities and practical demonstrations that cover a wide range of first aid skills. Under the guidance of a qualified aid trainer, you’ll learn how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), use an automated external defibrillator (AED), and manage asthmatic and anaphylactic emergencies through emergency asthma management training and anaphylaxis management training. The simulated environment allows you to practice these specialised first aid skills safely, building your confidence and competence to respond to emergency situations.
The practical assessment is a key part of the course, where your ability to apply basic emergency life support and advanced resuscitation techniques is evaluated. This assessment ensures you meet the standards set by the Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA), as well as the national regulations for education and care settings. The comprehensive training covers everything from responding to medical emergencies to providing aid in an education and care setting, so you’re ready to act when it matters most.
Upon successful completion of the practical training and assessment, you’ll receive a nationally recognised first aid certificate, valid for three years. This aid qualification not only demonstrates your up-to-date first aid knowledge but also ensures you are equipped with the essential and specialised first aid skills required to provide effective aid response in any childcare or educational environment. With this comprehensive training, you’ll be ready to respond effectively and confidently to first aid emergencies, supporting the safety and wellbeing of children in your care.
