The training offered by Intelligent Training Solutions provides the skills and knowledge to administer first aid properly but does not constitute a medical qualification. Intelligent Training Solutions accepts no responsibility for the subsequent actions of participants.

First Aid training involves moderate physical activity, including kneeling and bending. Intelligent Training Solutions does not accept any responsibility for any harm suffered by you as a result of your participation in the course. If you have any special needs (including those in relation to Language, Literacy or Numeracy), a relevant disability or condition, or any other concerns, you should raise these prior to enrolment.

Even though first aid is a serious topic, we pride ourselves on our fun, practical and engaging format that simulates real worlds scenarios. Our courses contain a lot of valuable video content to ensure participants remain engaged rather than listening to war stories of the trainer’s past experiences. Unlike many other first aid providers, all our trainers are highly qualified, with our senior trainers and our program coordinator qualified as division 1 nurses, emergency service workers, and paramedics. Our standards are high to ensure that the information you receive during this course is current, practical, and not just taught by a ‘first aider’. We believe in providing highly qualified trainers with real and current industry experience.

There are many topics within this first aid course. For a full list of the information taught and assessed, we recommend viewing the HLTAID011 Provide first aid criteria upon which our course is based.

Intelligent Training Solutions started as a workplace training organisation, delivering courses directly to clients at their own locations. Today onsite course delivery remains a strength of ours when it comes to helping businesses, large or small, find solutions to their own compliance or employment and training needs.

Over the years, we have built strong relationships with many of our local Neighbourhood Houses and their wonderful staff to deliver our nationally accredited and non-accredited courses to the local communities using the Neighbourhood Houses as a permanent location and venue while at the same time having an established training centre in Preston, Victoria.

In 2023, Intelligent Training Solutions Training Centre moved from East Keilor to Unit 74, 2 Cobham Street, Reservoir, Victoria 3073, expanding our range of courses and delivery capacity. In addition to Reservoir, we also deliver this course at:

This course and the unit of competency that make up your Statement of Attainment must be assessed both theoretically and practically in accordance with the first aid criteria. The assessment will be based on competency-based training (CBT) principles. A successful outcome for this certificate will be determined by a range of different methods, including:

• Either (one or the other) an online or written submission of work
• Observation of simulated and practical activities
• Structured questioning or discussions.

PLEASE NOTE: It is a requirement of this course, as stated by the HLTAID011 unit criteria, that the practical assessment (demonstration) of CPR must be performed on an adult and infant manikin while on the floor.

The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) standards recommend undertaking a refresher in CPR competence every three years; however, the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines recommend that updates should be completed annually (www.resus.org.au).

In support of the RACGP standards and the latest evidence, it is a requirement of the QI&CPD program that GPs maintain basic life support skills through the completion of a CPR course that meets the ARC guidelines.

In a statement that was released by RACGP under Standards for General Practice, CPR training completed solely online does not meet the training or accreditation requirement!

The CPR component of this course has been approved by the RACGP and QI&CPD Program. GPs simply submit a copy of their CPR Statement of Attainment issued by Intelligent Training Solutions to the relevant State QI&CPD unit for CPD point allocation.

All nurses and midwives must meet continuing professional development (CPD) standards. Nurses on the nurses’ register will need to participate in at least 20 hours of continuing nursing professional development per year. Registered nurses and midwives who hold scheduled medicines endorsements or endorsements as nurse or midwife practitioners under the National Law must complete at least 10 hours per year in education.

One hour of active learning will equal one hour of CPD. The CPD must be relevant to the nurse or midwife’s context of practice. The nominal hours involved with this course are 18 hours.

Participants wishing to continue with their study after achieving the HLTAID011 Provide first aid certificate can do so by undertaking the HLTAID014 Provide advanced first aid certificate. This course is also suitable for those individuals entering employment or a community position whereby an individual may be required to provide a first aid response.

Recognition of prior learning for this certificate will be offered by way of assessment only. Applicants will need to undertake the theory and practical assessment tasks to be deemed competent in this course.

Standard fees will apply. Further information is available by contacting our office.

• You have the right to complain about the performance of our administration services, trainers or assessors.
• You have the right to appeal the assessment decision made by our trainers. Please refer to our appeals policy in this website’s student administration section.

Intelligent Training Solutions will provide you with all the required resources and texts on the day of your course. Upon receiving your welcome email, after you enrol in this course, you will be provided with a weblink whereby you can download a free copy of the HLTAID011 Learner Guide.

• HLTAID011 – Provide first aid
• HLTAID010 – Provide basic emergency life support
• HLTAID009 – Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation

PLEASE NOTE: Intelligent Training Solutions aims to issue certificates within 48 to 72 hours from the successful completion of your course; HOWEVER, failing to provide our office with your correct USI details, failing to complete your personal study component, or a failure to pay your invoice on time will delay this process.
