"Over the years we have struggled to secure a trainer that takes the content seriously and does more than a tick and flick. Our students have said this is the best First Aid course they have ever attended. Thank you to the St John Queensland trainers.

Delivered by qualified educators, sessions are highly interactive and age-appropriate, using hands-on activities, demonstrations, and scenario-based learning to make core First Aid concepts easy to understand and remember.
