ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Australian College of Business Skills has the following entry requirements:

Students must:

  1. Must be 18 years or older as underage students are not trained by this organization.
  1. Pass the Australian College of Business Skills Pty Ltd HLTAID011 specific LLN Test which applicants are required to obtain a 100% pass mark. Applicants may undertake the LLN test as many times as they like for no charge.
  1. Applicants need to have the physical capability to:
  • perform at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (5 cycles of both compressions and ventilations) on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor
  • perform at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer CPR (5 cycles both compressions and ventilations) on an infant resuscitation manikin placed on a firm surface
  • apply first aid procedures

‘The HLTAID competency standards do require a level of physical ability to meet the evidence requirements for assessment. These standards relate to the level of performance required to provide resuscitation and respond to an emergency situation where there may be risk to life. Due to the potential risk to health and safety where a nominated first aider, or worker with duty of care, does not have the ability to perform resuscitation and/or first aid to the performance standard it is not appropriate to issue a Statement of Attainment to students who are physically unable to meet the assessment requirements.

 In cases where a student has attended a resuscitation or first aid course but is unable to meet the full requirements of the competency, Registered Training Organisations are encouraged to issue a Statement of Attendance and a transcript of any skills and knowledge that the student was able to achieve.’
