🤔 Common Questions When Choosing a First Aid Provider

Q: Are all accredited first aid courses the same?

A: While all nationally accredited RTOs must cover the same content, the delivery method, trainer quality, venue convenience, pricing, and certificate turnaround time vary significantly. Choose based on your needs: online flexibility, location convenience, and cost.

Q: What should I look for in a first aid training provider?

A: Key factors: 1) RTO accreditation (we're RTO 31961), 2) Review ratings (our 4.9★ vs industry 3.5-4.2★), 3) Certificate speed (same-day vs 5-10 days), 4) Pricing transparency (our price beat guarantee), 5) Location convenience (2 venues vs typical 1-3).

Q: Why is your training cheaper than some competitors?

A: We train 34,000+ students annually across Australia, giving us economies of scale. Our blended learning model (online theory + in-person practical) reduces venue costs compared to full-day classroom sessions. We pass these savings to you while maintaining quality.

Q: Will employers accept your certificate?

A: Yes, absolutely. We're RTO 31961 (since 1996), nationally accredited by ASQA. Our certificates are recognized by all Australian employers, WorkSafe authorities, ACECQA (childcare), RACGP (medical), and ACN (nursing). Same validity as any accredited provider.
