Who is the course designed for?
This course is designed for a person who is an existing worker who performs a work function in the context of their own workplace and have been identified by their employer as requiring competency in First Aid. The target learner has completed enterprise and on-site induction training which provides the learner with pre-existing knowledge and skills relating to the use of PPE, risk management and the likely types of injuries and illness to expect on a particular work site. This means that the target learner will already hold a foundation of the knowledge and skills required by the unit of competency being delivered.
01. What does the course offer?
The program has been organised to provide students with general skills, background information and specific knowledge about providing first aid in the workplaces, which is then applied in discussion, questioning, role-plays and practical application for the industry specific unit.
The program is delivered ‘on-the-job’ at the client’s premises. Training delivery combines face-to-face trainer led theory classes and practical sessions. In most cases there will be no more than 8 students in any class.
Students are provided with all required course material including a training manual that covers all parts of the course. Additional material will be made available during training sessions if required.
Forkpro Australia, as far as is practical, will ensure that employers and students are kept informed of their progress throughout the training and assessment process.
