Childcare First Aid

Nationally — CBD College holds RTO registration (91399), so the statement of attainment you're issued on completion is recognised by employers and licensing bodies right across Australia, not just in the state you trained in.

You'll need a Unique Student Identifier before we can issue your certificate — it's a legal requirement for any nationally recognised training, not something we add on top. Create one free in a couple of minutes at usi.gov.au if you don't already have one.

Pick your course, then your nearest centre, then a date from the live class finder above — enrol and pay online and you're confirmed instantly, no waiting on a callback.

Yes — group and onsite training is available for workplaces booking multiple people at once. Call 1300 628 299 and we'll set it up.

It's built on top of it. HLTAID012 includes everything in HLTAID009/010/011 plus content specific to infants and young children — anaphylaxis, asthma, febrile convulsions and the emergencies more common in care settings — which is what ACECQA's National Quality Framework specifically requires for education and care staff.

Beyond standard CPR and first aid, expect practical work on managing anaphylaxis and asthma episodes in children, recognising febrile convulsions, and responding to the kinds of incidents that come up in early childhood settings specifically.

As a general pattern, the first aid component is renewed roughly every 3 years and CPR every 12 months — but always check your specific service's policy and ACECQA's current requirements rather than assuming.

Yes — a short online module first, so class time goes almost entirely to hands-on practice rather than theory.

If you find the same unit of competency advertised cheaper by another RTO, submit it through our price match page and we'll do our best to match it with a discount code for booking.
