I did my first aid course about 20 years ago and I have upgraded it about every 4 to 5 years now they say you’re supposed to upgrade your CPR every three years which I haven’t I have let slip but it’s still really good to do the first aid course and just constantly remind yourself of what you have to do.  I did have an incident where a person collapsed in front of me and I put them into the recovery position just made sure they were breathing when they fell over they knocked their head on the concrete so I think they’re were a little bit unconscious and once they were breathing in the recovery position I just let them sit there and they slowly came to but I’m glad I had the first aid skills behind me because it did pay off.

I did the first aid course with St John’s initially and then after that I did it with various private providers.  The first aide course that Train Safe NT run was very flexible because you can choose whatever unit you want so you could do a one day course or a two day course or a three day course.  You can do these courses in Darwin or remote communities so if you have a workforce that needs first aid contact Train Safe NT.

My experience with them is that they were very good, the certificates were posted out within about 4 days, bear in mind that all the USIs have to be sorted out first.  The first aid course brought a lot of people together but I only see each other occasionally so it was a good chance to chat catch up and meet,  a bit of professional development and put a face to the email.  So the first aid course with Train Safe NT paid off with other benefits I got to catch up with all my workers again which is good and to see the boss actually doing some work that was quite funny because he stuffed up the CPR the first time so we all had a good laugh.  Peter Mudge.
