Start with these four main options.
Choose this course if: you specifically need CPR training or have been asked to complete HLTAID009.
Key focus: cardiopulmonary resuscitation, practical CPR skills and use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).
Best next step: check that HLTAID009 is the unit you require, then view the current Hobart course details.
Enrol in Course
Choose this course if: you need broader general first aid training rather than CPR alone.
Key focus: CPR, basic emergency life support and practical first aid responses for a range of injuries and medical emergencies.
The current Allens Training course structure includes:
Enrol in Course
Choose this course if: your employer, education provider or placement requires HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an education and care setting.
This is often searched for as a childcare first aid course, but the official unit code and title are important when checking your requirements.
The course includes first aid and CPR skills relevant to adults, children and infants.
Enrol in Course
Choose this course if: your role, workplace or organisation specifically requires advanced first aid.
HLTAID014 provides a broader level of first aid training than HLTAID011. It should not be treated as the default course simply because it is more advanced.
Enrol in Course
Choosing the right training is easier when you start with the exact unit code.
A CPR course, general first aid course, childcare first aid course and advanced first aid course are not interchangeable.
A simple guide is:
If your employer has only told you to “get a first aid certificate”, ask which unit they require before enrolling.
The exact unit matters more than the general course name.
HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation is the main CPR training option for people who specifically need nationally recognised CPR training.
The course develops practical skills for responding when a person is unresponsive and not breathing normally.
Training and assessment cover skills such as:
CPR is a practical skill. Participants need to demonstrate the required techniques rather than complete theory alone.
Current Allens Training entry and assessment information requires participants to have the physical capability to complete the practical CPR tasks required by the unit.
For nationally recognised CPR assessment, participants are required to perform CPR on a manikin on the floor.
If kneeling, bending or performing CPR on the floor may be difficult for you, review the current entry and assessment requirements before booking.
No.
HLTAID009 focuses on CPR training. It does not replace a broader first aid unit when an employer or organisation specifically requires one.
If you need CPR plus wider first aid skills, check whether HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is the correct course.
HLTAID011 Provide First Aid is the main general first aid course for people who need broader training than CPR alone.
Its current Allens Training course structure includes:
That distinction can save you from booking two courses unnecessarily when HLTAID011 is the unit you actually require.
HLTAID011 develops first aid skills across a range of injuries and medical emergencies.
Practical training and assessment can include responses to:
Participants may also need to demonstrate AED use and complete first aid incident documentation.
The purpose is to assess practical first aid management as well as knowledge.
HLTAID010 Provide basic emergency life support covers core actions used during an emergency response.
It is included within the current HLTAID011 course structure alongside CPR and broader first aid skills.
This is one reason HLTAID011 is more comprehensive than a CPR-only course.
People looking for childcare first aid training in Hobart should check whether their requirement is HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an education and care setting.
The current Allens Training course structure includes:
Training includes practical first aid and CPR skills involving adults, children and infants.
Assessment can cover scenarios such as:
Do not assume every education or childcare role has identical requirements.
If your employer, placement provider or organisation has supplied a unit code, follow that requirement.
If you have only been told to complete “childcare first aid”, confirm whether HLTAID012 is the unit required before enrolling.
HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid is available for people whose role or workplace requires a higher level of first aid training.
The current course structure incorporates:
Advanced first aid may be relevant where a participant needs to manage more complex first aid situations or has greater first aid responsibilities.
However, it is not automatically the right training simply because it provides more advanced skills.
Use the unit specified by your employer or organisation.
Moreton Group's wider course catalogue contains additional first aid, CPR and emergency care training.
Options listed include:
These are more specialised options.
Do not book a specialist course simply because it appears in the catalogue. Start with the unit your workplace or organisation requires.

Nationally recognised first aid training combines knowledge with practical skills and assessment.
Depending on the unit and delivery mode, your training may involve:
The exact activities depend on the course.
First aid training is not based on attendance alone. You must meet the relevant assessment requirements to successfully complete the unit.
Some first aid courses can include online learning, but this does not mean the whole course can be completed online.
Current Allens Training course information provides delivery options that can include:
Practical skills still need to be demonstrated where required by the unit.
For CPR and first aid training, this can include practical CPR, AED use and simulated emergency responses.
Where online pre-learning applies, participants may need to complete theory before attending their practical session.
This can include:
Complete any required pre-learning before your scheduled class.
Face-to-face training is used to practise and assess relevant first aid skills.
Depending on the unit, this may include:
Always check the current Hobart course listing and booking information for the delivery mode attached to the session you are considering.
Course length depends on the unit and delivery format.
A CPR course will generally require less training time than a full first aid, childcare first aid or advanced first aid course.
Current Allens Training information lists different minimum contact times according to course and delivery mode. These are course-level minimums and should not be treated as the scheduled time for every Moreton Group Hobart class.
Before booking, use the current Hobart listing to check the actual session details.
This is especially important if you:
Entry and assessment requirements vary by course.
For the main first aid units, current Allens Training information includes requirements such as:
Participants undertaking nationally recognised VET in Australia also require a Unique Student Identifier (USI) unless a formal exemption applies.
A USI is your individual education identifier. You only need to create one once, and it remains with you for life.
Check your enrolment instructions before training so any required information, pre-learning and administrative steps are completed.
Follow the instructions supplied with your booking.
Depending on your course, you may need to:
Your course confirmation should be treated as the main source for session-specific instructions.
Moreton Group's Hobart Training Centre is located at:
190 New Town Road
New Town TAS 7008
This is the correct training venue for the Hobart centre.
Moreton Group's head office is at 98 New Town Road, so make sure you use 190 New Town Road when attending training.
The centre is in New Town rather than Hobart CBD.
The current Moreton Group location information identifies New Town Road and nearby major routes as road access options for participants travelling from Hobart and surrounding areas.
Metro Tasmania services also operate along New Town Road and nearby Main Road.
Public transport routes and timetables can change, so check current Metro Tasmania information before travelling.
Before your course, also check your booking confirmation for any arrival or venue instructions.
Moreton Group supports workplaces and organisations arranging first aid and CPR training for multiple participants.
Managers should begin by identifying which units employees actually require.
Avoid booking one generic first aid class for everyone before checking individual role requirements.
A practical process is:
This can save time and reduce the risk of employees completing the wrong training.
A group booking may be useful when:
Availability and delivery arrangements depend on the course.
Moreton Group promotes workplace training, but you should not assume that every unit is available onsite or in every format.

First aid training can form part of a workplace's safety arrangements, but one first aid course does not automatically satisfy every workplace requirement.
The right training can depend on:
If your workplace has specified a unit code, use it.
If it has not, confirm the required training before enrolling employees.
This page helps you compare Moreton Group first aid courses. It does not replace advice from your employer, regulator or workplace safety adviser.
Moreton Group Medical Services delivers training and assessment on behalf of Allens Training Pty Ltd (RTO 90909).
Allens Training Pty Ltd is the Registered Training Organisation.
Moreton Group should not be described as RTO 90909.
Participants completing nationally recognised training need to meet the applicable training, assessment and administrative requirements before the relevant outcome can be issued.
People often refer to their training outcome as a “first aid certificate”.
For nationally recognised VET, the applicable outcome depends on the unit or units successfully completed.
Eligible participants who successfully complete the required assessment and administrative requirements receive the relevant nationally recognised outcome or Statement of Attainment.
Booking or attending a course alone does not guarantee successful completion.
Renewal recommendations vary by unit.
Current Allens Training course information lists the following industry-recommended renewal periods:
These are industry-recommended renewal periods, not a guarantee that every workplace uses the same timetable.
Your employer, industry, placement provider or organisation may require training to be refreshed sooner.
If you have previously completed CPR and need to refresh your skills, check the current HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation course options.
Do not assume that previous training automatically makes you eligible for every refresher format.
Check the current course information before enrolling.
First aid courses require both knowledge and practical skills, but you are not expected to arrive already knowing how to manage every emergency.
Training is designed to teach and assess the skills required by the unit.
To prepare:
If you are concerned about the physical requirements of CPR or another assessment task, check the course entry requirements before booking.
A few checks before enrolment can prevent delays or unnecessary training.
Common mistakes include:
If you are unsure, confirm the unit first.
If you already know which unit you need, choose the relevant Hobart course and Enrol in Course.
The main options are:

HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation focuses on CPR and related emergency response skills.

Yes. The current Allens Training course structure for HLTAID011 includes HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation and HLTAID010 Provide basic emergency life support.
Check the current course details to confirm the outcomes attached to your enrolment.
Check whether your employer, education provider or placement requires HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an education and care setting.
Do not rely only on the phrase “childcare first aid”. Use the exact unit code where one has been supplied.
Do not assume so.
Some delivery formats can include online pre-learning, but practical assessment is still required where the unit requires practical skills.
Check the delivery mode attached to your Hobart course before enrolling.
Relevant nationally recognised CPR and first aid courses include practical CPR assessment on a manikin on the floor.
If you have an injury, disability, mobility limitation or other concern that may affect your ability to complete the practical assessment, check the course requirements before enrolling.
Students undertaking nationally recognised vocational education and training in Australia require a Unique Student Identifier (USI) unless a formal exemption applies.
You only need one USI and keep the same identifier for life.
Follow the enrolment instructions provided for your course.
The Hobart Training Centre is at:
190 New Town Road, New Town TAS 7008.
This is separate from the Moreton Group head office at 98 New Town Road.
Current Allens Training information gives HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation an industry-recommended renewal period of 12 months.
Your employer or organisation may set its own currency requirements.
Current Allens Training information gives HLTAID011 Provide First Aid, HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an education and care setting and HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid industry-recommended renewal periods of 36 months.
CPR may need to be refreshed more often.
Yes. Moreton Group accepts group training enquiries for workplaces and organisations.
Identify the unit or units your employees need, then use Make a Group Booking to discuss the available training arrangements.
The best way to avoid this is to check the exact unit code before enrolling.
If your employer, placement provider or organisation has given you a code, match your booking to that code rather than relying on the course name alone.
