Duration: 3 hours
Completing the HLTAID011 Provide First Aid Continuing Education Program eliminates the need to redo the whole course at the end of each 3 year period. If you are attending CPR reaccreditation every 12 months anyway, this may be a more efficient use of time for you! Feedback from clients also indicates that this method of ongoing skills maintenance ensures a much higher retention rate of information and keeps participants fully up to date of any changes to First Aid guidelines during the 3 year period.
Healthguard First Aid will send you a reminder at no cost every year to remind you of when your reaccreditation is due.
