Choosing the right First Aid & CPR course usually comes down to two things: the type of work you do and the level of risk in your workplace. Follow the steps below to find the right course for you.

Examples include:

Office or administrative work
Reception or front desk roles
Daycare and childcare

Retail and customer service

Higher-risk workplaces usually require Intermediate First Aid CPR/AED Level C (Standard)
Examples include:

Manufacturing or industrial work
Construction, roofing, or trades

Shelters, youth outreach, or rescue services
