Our self-paced online assessment allows you to complete the theory component of your first aid training at a time that suits you. Work through the interactive modules on any device, review the material as often as you need, and progress at your own pace. Once finished, you’ll simply attend the practical session to demonstrate your skills and receive your nationally accredited certificate.
The CPR (HLTAID009) certificate is valid for 12 months. To stay current, Safe Work Australia recommends renewing your certification annually. Keeping your skills up to date ensures you’re prepared to act in real-life emergencies. You can easily complete your refresher training with Accelerate First Aid.
The course includes about 1 hour of self-paced online learning, followed by a 45-minute face-to-face practical session. It’s designed for busy individuals, letting you complete the theory in your own time before attending the practical assessment.
Many employers reimburse CPR training as it’s often a workplace requirement. The course may also be tax-deductible if it relates to your job. Check with your employer or tax advisor for details on reimbursement or deductions.
Australian guidelines require hands-on assessment of CPR skills. You must perform CPR on a manikin for at least 2 minutes and demonstrate AED use in person. While theory can be done online, practical competency must be assessed face-to-face to meet national standards.
You must be at least 14 years old and have internet access for the online component. Physically, you need to perform 2 minutes of continuous CPR on a floor-level manikin, which involves kneeling and getting up from the floor. Basic English comprehension is also required. Contact us if you’re unsure about meeting these requirements.

CPR (HLTAID009) focuses only on resuscitation and AED use. It’s shorter and ideal for roles where only CPR is required. First Aid (HLTAID011) includes broader topics like bleeding, fractures, and medical conditions. Check your workplace’s requirements to choose the right course.
You'll demonstrate CPR on a manikin, use an AED, and respond to emergency scenarios under the trainer's supervision. If needed, free reassessment is available to help you succeed. Our trainers aim to support your learning while upholding national competency standards.
