COVID SAFE

First Aid Training

We are running COVID Safe First Aid & CPR Courses. 

Dear Customers,

With the continued threat of COVID-19, we continually assess our first aid course delivery practices and strict hygiene protocols to ensure current Queensland Government Health directives are being met and we operate in a COVID safe environment.

FAAE would like to inform you all that First Aid & CPR courses are still running. We are asking you to also be safe by following the current Queensland Government Health directives, hand sanitising, wearing the correct PPE (and face masks if required) and not coming to our course if you are feeling unwell or have flu like symptoms. 

FAAE Management feel it is important to continue delivering CPR and First Aid courses in this challenging environment as there are still numerous medical emergencies and thousands of Australian workers in essential positions that require this qualification to continue work.

Scott Whimpey – FAAE Director, “I would also like to personally assure you that we are committed to hygiene and safety in our CPR and First Aid courses, both in your workplaces and at our training sites in Coomera and Varsity Lakes”.

Please consider the following before attending your training course:

• Are you supposed to be isolating due to having COVID-19? If yes, you CANNOT attend our course.
• Are you classed as a close contact of someone with COVID-19 and supposed to be isolating? If yes, you CANNOT attend our course.
• Should you be isolating for any other reason as per the current Queensland Government Health directives? If yes, you CANNOT attend our course.
• Do you feel unwell or have flu-like symptoms? If yes, you CANNOT attend our course.
• If a person turns up at a course with flu-like symptoms, they cannot attend the course until they are in good health. We may also temperature check you on arrival.
• If any of the above applies to you, please contact us as soon as possible on 07 5520 5068 to re-schedule your course.  Please refer to our Course Booking Terms & Conditions for further information.

Our procedures in hygiene:

CPR and First Aid are nationally recognised training courses and have practical skills. Some of these skills require students to be assessed doing an activity. We cannot compromise the integrity of our assessments, but have simply made some reasonable adjustments during the assessment, as requested by ASQA – our governing body. In addition to our standard measures, we have implemented the following:

• All participants must check-in using the Queensland Government QR Code Check-in App when entering the building and/or entering the training room
• Face masks are to be worn by students and trainers when required as per any current Queensland Government Health directives
• All participants and trainers are encouraged to use hand sanitiser throughout the training course
• Alcohol and disinfectant wipes are provided for use on equipment and surfaces
• Course numbers are adjusted when necessary to follow any current Queensland Government Health directives
• All equipment is thoroughly cleaned with disinfectant wipes before and after training
• Each student is to use hand sanitiser and/or gloves when conducting practical activities
• Bandaging techniques are practised on yourself instead of other students
• No face to face contact when performing the CPR assessment on a manikin, 2 breaths can be practised off to the side of the manikin
• Minimal touching where possible in practical assessments
• Students may be temperature checked on arrival

As a family-owned and operated RTO, we have taken the advice of the Queensland Government and continued to keep essential businesses running.  We appreciate your patience and support throughout this time. The health and well being of our customers, team members and the overall community are paramount and we are committed to ensuring a healthy and safe environment.

If you would require any further information or have any concerns, please call our office on 07 5520 5068.
