Amazing good even after the 5th time. Was taught by an RN who really knew the content. I work in critical care and am required to keep my first aid up to date and still learned new skills in first aid. Looking for to next years course.

Sonja was a very good trainer with an awesome sense of humour which made the training fun

Anna P.

via productreview

Was so disappointed when I left, the first aid trainer made me feel terrible and dumb when I was just trying to learn the process, I felt so bad for everyone else the entire time because they were just being yelled at, I have no idea what the first aid trainer was going through that day but it has no excuse to be saying things the way he did, it was like a nightmare waiting for it to be over I was so tense the whole time, Good Lord. Sorry but I cannot do it through your course again next time I will have to go somewhere else.

So easy, from first applying to undertake the course, downloading and completing the well presented E-training material and assement to attending the face to face practical segment I thoroughly enjoyed doing the course. JAMIE our CPR and First Aid trainer was very good and knowledgable, she took the time to ensure students fully understood each subject.

Very informative and clearly explained. The trainer is knowledgeable and engaging, and the session was highly relevant. It gave me real confidence that I can effectively provide CPR and first aid. I highly recommend AWFA - Rockingham.

🤔 Common Questions When Choosing a First Aid Provider

Q: Are all accredited first aid courses the same?

A: While all nationally accredited RTOs must cover the same content, the delivery method, trainer quality, venue convenience, pricing, and certificate turnaround time vary significantly. Choose based on your needs: online flexibility, location convenience, and cost.

Q: What should I look for in a first aid training provider?

A: Key factors: 1) RTO accreditation (we're RTO 31961), 2) Review ratings (our 4.9★ vs industry 3.5-4.2★), 3) Certificate speed (same-day vs 5-10 days), 4) Pricing transparency (our price beat guarantee), 5) Location convenience (22 venues vs typical 1-3).

Q: Why is your training cheaper than some competitors?

A: We train 200,000+ students annually across Australia, giving us economies of scale. Our blended learning model (online theory + in-person practical) reduces venue costs compared to full-day classroom sessions. We pass these savings to you while maintaining quality.

Q: Will employers accept your certificate?

A: Yes, absolutely. We're RTO 31961 (since 1996), nationally accredited by ASQA. Our certificates are recognized by all Australian employers, WorkSafe authorities, ACECQA (childcare), RACGP (medical), and ACN (nursing). Same validity as any accredited provider.
