Senior first aid

Managed first aid training services such as those offered by Alsco (see alscotraining.com.au) are growing in popularity as companies see the benefits in using a managed service (which is fully tax deductible) instead of facing the capital expense of running their own in-house first aid division to meet Australia’s complex and varied State and Territory Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) requirements.

One of the best-known managed first aid training courses offered by Alsco is the Senior First Aid course, also known as Workplace Level 2 training, which covers a range of topics enabling participants to confidently manage emergency situations, providing care for the ill or injured until a doctor or nurse arrives.

Topics cover emergency situations that are likely to require first aid and the course can be delivered on-line via e-learning from www.alscotraining.com.au or completed in the traditional way using pen and paper. A practical period of face-to-face training is required to complete the course.

At the completion of the managed training course, successful students receive a senior first aid certificate which is valid for a wide range of employment opportunities including police, childcare, nursing for the elderly, manufacturing industry, mining, teachers and others.

There are no age requirements for the course, which qualifies First Aiders to deal with an adult or child casualty in most situations.

  • Eye and head injuries
  • Heart related problems
