If you need to undertake First Aid training to complete your placement or to gain casual employment and also want to save some of your hard-earned cash, look no further!
La Trobe has partnered with St John Ambulance to offer heavily discounted First Aid training sessions that are available both at public St John venues and at La Trobe University venues for your convenience.
The St John Ambulance 1-day course has no pre-learning material or requisites, the program is delivered multimodally to address different learning styles with assessments undertaken throughout the program using the participants’ smart device (tablet or phone).
Ongoing assessment allows the trainer to focus on any areas that require further attention or explanation to build a confident and competent First Aid responder. Follow-up cardiopulmonary resuscitation refresher training is also available as a half-day program and is recommended to be undertaken annually.
