Popular First Aid Courses for School Staff and Education Providers

Schools must ensure staff are equipped to respond to emergencies involving students, colleagues and visitors — whether in the classroom, on the playground or on excursions. We offer a comprehensive range of nationally recognised courses commonly required in Victorian education settings, including first aid, CPR, asthma, anaphylaxis and emergency management training. These qualifications help schools maintain compliance, meet duty of care obligations and strengthen the confidence of teachers and education support staff to act quickly when it matters most.

Onsite First Aid Training for School Staff Groups

With one of Victoria’s largest and best-resourced first aid training teams, Australian Pacific Training Solutions can train your entire school workforce at the same time. We regularly deliver onsite courses for schools with up to 350+ staff simultaneously, deploying multiple trainers to ensure ratios never exceed 25 participants per trainer. This means you can complete all first aid, CPR, asthma and anaphylaxis training efficiently — without disrupting learning programs across multiple dates.

We provide onsite group training for 10 or more participants throughout Melbourne, Geelong and Regional Victoria, and can schedule sessions on student-free days, after school hours or weekends to meet operational requirements. All equipment is supplied, and training content is contextualised to the real emergencies school staff respond to every day — from playground injuries to sudden medical conditions and excursion incidents.

Public Course Options for Individual School Staff

Not all staff can attend onsite group training — and that shouldn’t delay their essential first aid certification. Our public course locations across Melbourne, Geelong and Regional Victoria allow teachers and education support staff to book into a convenient session at any time throughout the year. This is ideal for new starters, staff on leave during your onsite session, or those who need to complete renewal training after your school program has finished.

Educators can enrol online in HLTAID011 Provide First Aid, HLTAID009 CPR or asthma and anaphylaxis training to remain fully compliant with duty of care and school safety requirements. With accessible schedules including evenings and weekends, it’s easy to keep qualifications current and ensure your school always maintains the required competencies on site.
