What to look for in a first aid course on the Gold Coast

Are you looking for a great first aid course on the Gold Coast? With so many options available, it can be hard to know which one to choose. It’s worth taking the time to compare, because while there are plenty of courses out there, they’re not all created equal. 

First Aid Accident & Emergency (FAAE) is a trusted local provider with over 17 years of experience delivering high-quality, nationally recognised training. Whether you need CPR for work, childcare certification, or just want the confidence to handle emergencies, we’ve got you covered. 

Here’s what to look for in a Gold Coast first aid course:

Nationally recognised and up-to-date training

One of the most important things to look for in a first aid course is whether it’s nationally recognised and aligned with Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines. Having a nationally recognised first aid training course ensures you’re not wasting time completing a course that won’t meet workplace or industry requirements.

At First Aid Accident & Emergency, we deliver:

• HLTAID009 Provide CPR
• HLTAID011 Provide First Aid
• HLTAID012 Childcare First Aid

Course content that meets your needs

There are many different types of first aid courses on the Gold Coast, so it’s important to find a course that suits your requirements. Think about what skills you actually need, whether it’s CPR only, full first aid, childcare first aid, or advanced training, then choose a course that aligns with your goals.

FAAE’s range of first aid courses includes:

• Standard courses (full in-class training)
• Express courses (online theory + short in-class practical)
• CPR-only
• Childcare first aid
• Advanced resuscitation
• Baby first aid workshops
• On-site workplace training

Experienced and qualified trainers

Another thing to look for in a first aid course is how experienced and qualified the trainers are. Ensuring the trainers are skilled and experienced helps you feel confident that what you’re learning is correct, relevant and useful in real emergencies.

FAAE has the best first aid trainers on the Gold Coast who have real-world first aid experience. Our trainers bring sessions to life with:

• Confidence built from real situations
• Practical, hands-on demonstrations

At FAAE, we offer daily courses across two convenient Gold Coast locations, Varsity Lakes and Coomera. It’s simple to find a session that works for you.

Need training at your workplace? At FAAE, we also provide on-site group training, where our qualified trainers come to you for a seamless and flexible learning experience.

Fun, practical learning

A fun, relaxed environment helps people feel at ease, creates a supportive environment, and that makes learning much easier. First aid training needs to be practical, it gives people confidence in real emergencies. 

At FAAE, we have expert trainers who deliver fun, engaging courses backed by real-world first aid experience, so you feel capable and confident if there’s ever an emergency.
