First aid and CPR training at our Penrith branch
Four nationally recognised courses run from our Penrith branch. If you are looking for a first aid and CPR course in Penrith, HLTAID011 is the one — it covers first aid and CPR together in a single nationally recognised certificate. Current dates and prices sit on each course page, live from our booking system.
HLTAID009 — CPR Course
The annual CPR course most workplaces ask for. Short online pre-learning, then a hands-on practical session with a trainer.
HLTAID011 — First Aid Course including CPR
The workplace first aid certificate most employers ask for. Covers three units — HLTAID009 (CPR), HLTAID010 (basic emergency life support) and HLTAID011 (first aid).
HLTAID012 — Childcare First Aid
First aid in an education and care setting. Four units, including everything in HLTAID011. The certificate childcare and early learning staff need for compliance.

CPR refresher and first aid refresher courses in Penrith
Most people booking a CPR refresher in Penrith are renewing for work. The rule is simple: CPR (HLTAID009) every 12 months, and first aid (HLTAID011) every three years with an annual CPR refresher in between. Childcare first aid (HLTAID012) follows the same three-year cycle.
Not sure when yours runs out? The date is on your statement of attainment. If you cannot find it, call us on 0475 700 650 and we will check for you.
Renewing is the same class as certifying for the first time — there is no separate refresher course to book. Choose the course you need above and pick a date. If it is only your annual CPR renewal that is due, our CPR course in Penrith page explains exactly what that class covers. Working in childcare or early learning? Our childcare first aid course in Penrith page covers HLTAID012 and what education and care services are asked to hold.

First aid course Penrith — common questions
How soon will I get my certificate?
Your statement of attainment is issued the same day or the next business day, on successful completion of the course.
How long is my first aid certificate valid?
CPR (HLTAID009) should be renewed every 12 months. First aid (HLTAID011) and childcare first aid (HLTAID012) are valid for three years, with an annual CPR refresher in between.
Are there prerequisites for the first aid course?
There are no prerequisites for HLTAID011. You will need a USI (Unique Student Identifier), which is free to create, and you need to finish the online pre-learning before your practical session.
What does HLTAID011 cover?
Three units: HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation, HLTAID010 Provide basic emergency life support, and HLTAID011 Provide first aid. HLTAID012 adds a fourth unit for education and care settings.
Do I need a separate CPR refresher course?
No. Renewing is the same class as certifying for the first time — book HLTAID009 for CPR, or HLTAID011 if your full first aid certificate is also due.
