Frequently Asked Questions About CPR Training

• What is the CPR course?

  The CPR course teaches you how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) on adults, children, and infants. It provides the essential life-saving skills needed to respond quickly and effectively in an emergency until medical help arrives.

• How long is a CPR course?

  The duration of our CPR course is typically 3 hours and is delivered entirely face to face — no online study or homework.

• Is my CPR certificate recognised nationally?

  Yes, your CPR certificate is recognised across all states and territories in Australia, allowing you to meet workplace health and safety requirements nationwide.

   

• Do I need prior experience?

  No prior experience is required to complete our CPR courses. We provide comprehensive training to equip you with the necessary skills to respond to emergencies.

• Will my CPR certificate expire?

  Yes. In Australia, your CPR certificate is valid for 12 months. To meet Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines and workplace safety requirements, you’ll need to renew your CPR training every year to ensure your knowledge and practical skills remain up to date.

• English Requirements

  English and Basic Skills Requirements

  All our short courses are designed to be accessible and practical. Participants are required to have:

  Basic English proficiency – enough to read, understand, and follow written instructions.

  Basic numeracy – the ability to perform simple calculations relevant to the course activities.

  Minimal digital skills – as all our courses are paper-based and do not involve online training.

  No advanced English, math, or computer skills are needed, ensuring our courses are suitable for beginners and those returning to learning.

• USI Requirements

  USI (Unique Student Identifier) Requirements

  All participants enrolling in our short courses are required to have a USI. The USI is a national identifier that allows your training records to be securely stored and accessed online.

  If you already have a USI, please provide it during enrollment.

  If you do not have a USI, you will need to create one before starting the course. Creating a USI is free and can be done online using your personal details, such as your name, date of birth, and email.

  The USI ensures that your course completion is officially recorded and accessible for future reference.
