How Our Express First Aid Course Works

The Express First Aid Course streamlines your certification renewal into three simple stages, making it the most efficient first aid refresher available in Australia.

Step 1: Online Learning (3-4 Hours)

Complete comprehensive online modules at your own pace covering all theoretical aspects of first aid. Our interactive online first aid refresher course includes videos, scenarios, and knowledge checks to refresh your skills. Access is available 24/7 from any device, allowing you to learn when it suits your schedule.

Step 2: Knowledge Assessment (Online)

Step 3: Practical Assessment (2 Hours)

You’ll demonstrate CPR on adult and infant manikins, AED operation, bandaging techniques, and emergency scenario management. Our assessors create a supportive environment focused on confirming your existing skills.

2 minutes uninterrupted CPR on adult manikin
