Testimonials

The staff were extremely helpful. In my honest opinion, coast 2 country is the only place to do your first aid training. They have state of the art equipment and exemplary staff. Highly recommended.

Abbey-Marie S.Google review 路 5 stars

Recently completed CPR training with Coast 2 Country in Tavern Street. Thoroughly enjoyed the training, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable and I found the course relevant, interesting and practical. The price was was way less than I expected to pay too. Thanks, I'll be back!

ShaneGoogle review 路 5 stars

Best refresher course I've done yet. I felt this course with a broader understanding of the many grey areas generally not covered. I feel more than ready should I ever be in the position to need these skills. Thankyou 馃憤

Gabrielle H.Google review 路 5 stars

I would highly recommend going here for First Aid and CPR. The trainer is super passionate about her job and helping people. She teaches you everything you need to know but always keeps on schedual and always has a lovely chat.

Common questions

The questions we hear most about booking, the day itself and keeping your certificate current.

See all FAQs

How long does a first aid certificate last?

Your first aid statement of attainment (HLTAID011, HLTAID012, HLTAID014) is valid for three years. The CPR part should be refreshed every 12 months, so most people book a short CPR refresher in between.

Do I have to finish eLearning before the practical?

Yes. Most courses include pre-course eLearning, which you need to complete online at least 24 hours before your session. It covers the theory, so your time in the classroom is spent on hands-on skills and assessment.

What happens on the day?

Your trainer runs through the practical skills, such as CPR on adult and infant manikins, using a defibrillator and managing injuries, then assesses you through practical tasks and scenarios. Wear comfortable clothes, as you'll be kneeling on the floor.

Who issues my certificate?

Training and assessment is delivered on behalf of ABC Licence Training Pty Ltd RTO 3399. Once you're assessed as competent, ABC First Aid issues your nationally recognised statement of attainment.

Can you train our crew at our site?

Yes. We run onsite training across North, West, Northwest and Central Queensland, scheduled around your shifts. Onsite groups in Townsville start from 8 people. Tell us your numbers, courses and preferred dates and we'll send a quote.
