First Aid Awareness & Basic Life Support (CSP-NMF-050)

This course builds that awareness in a clear, practical, and Australian-context way. Across 3 modules, you'll learn how to recognise and respond to common medical emergencies including cardiac arrest, choking, bleeding, and unconsciousness, understand the principles of basic life support (CPR and AED use), and know how to manage a first aid situation until professional help arrives.
