Childcare First Aid Course Delivery

7 Hour Face-to-Face Training & Assessment

Childcare First Aid is taught face to face for seven hours in the classroom and includes required knowledge and practical training.

All learners will be assessed through a combination of the following assessment methods:

• Practical Demonstrations: Simulated scenarios/Role playing
• Project (Incident Report)
• Knowledge Assessment

No Online Workbook or E-learning Required

For ease and convenience, First Aid Brisbane try to minimise the stress of any online learning. So, whilst we do have mandatory pre-course reading requirements, it is self-paced and self-directed. Prior to attending the course, you need to complete a quiz and bring it to the session on the day to prove completion. The actual number of study hours required for each learner to complete the pre reading and quiz varies depending on the learners existing knowledge, skills and experience.
