Testimonials
โI had a great experience attending the First Aid in an Education and Care setting at Albion. The course was well structured with detailed preโcourse videos and assessments, followed by substantial practical training where we tested all the usual equipment used in real situations. Maria, our facilitator, was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared heaps of extra advice. With modules dedicated to children and care patients, I now feel confident to provide first aid assistance.โ – Radka K (Google review)

Frequently asked questions
Can a course participant be too young or too old? There isnโt a strict minimum or maximum age for our courses. For younger children under 13, My First Aid Course Brisbane prefers an adult to accompany them. For participants over 13, they can attend independently, but anyone under 18 will need a parent or guardian consent form, which is provided at the time of booking.
A physical component of the course requires participants to perform CPR for two minutes and roll an adult into the recovery position while on their knees. If this isnโt possible, a Certificate of Participation can be issued instead of a Statement of Attainment. This ensures that even if someone is very young, older, or has physical limitations, they can still learn about CPR and first aid in a supportive environment.
Allens Training and My First Aid Course Brisbane follow the Age Discrimination Act 2004 (Cth), which ensures everyone is welcome regardless of age.
What if I have a health issue or special circumstances? Participants need to be physically able to perform CPR for two minutes on a manikin on the floor. Certain parts of the course involve kneeling, so if you cannot kneel comfortably, you might choose to wait until you are able, or receive a Certificate of Participation.
Pregnant mums are welcome to attend, and My First Aid Course Brisbane recommends doing so before the final trimester if possible. Some prefer to try compressions on a manikin beforehand โ this can be arranged by contacting My First Aid Course Brisbane.
If you have a mild illness such as a cold or flu, itโs best to reschedule until fully recovered to protect yourself and others. For any concerns about health conditions or the course requirements, you can contact My First Aid Course Brisban via email or phone for guidance.
When do I receive my certificate? Certificates are uploaded to your student portal within 24 hours of successful course completion. You can download, print, or save a digital copy. If you need it urgently, contact My First Aid Course Brisban at the time of booking.
If you request a hard copy, it must be requested in advance and costs an extra $5. Delivery usually takes 5โ7 business days via Australia Post, though certificates often arrive sooner.
