In Sydney, 20 providers offer first aid courses from $95 to $165, with most completed in a single day (around 12 hours), though some run as short 3-hour update sessions or extend to two days for combined workplace packages.
A first aid course, often called first aid training, covers CPR and basic emergency response and is required for many workplaces, childcare roles, and some licensing conditions. Providers on this page include options in the Sydney CBD and nearby suburbs such as Surry Hills, Alexandria and Redfern.
The standard first aid certificate (HLTAID011) is valid for three years before it needs renewing, while CPR components typically need updating annually. Check with individual providers about which units are included and whether online pre-learning is required before the face-to-face session.
Frequently asked questions
- How much does a first aid course cost in Sydney?
- Prices among the 20 listed providers range from $95 to $165. The exact cost depends on the provider, the unit of competency covered, and whether the course includes extra modules such as CPR-only or workplace-specific first aid.
- How long does a first aid course take?
- Typical durations include a full day (around 12 hours) or a shorter 3-hour session for CPR updates. Some providers run two-day courses combining first aid with other workplace units. Check the specific provider's timetable for exact hours.
- How long is a first aid certificate valid?
- A first aid certificate is generally valid for 36 months before renewal is required. CPR units within the certificate often need refreshing annually, so check your certificate's expiry dates and your workplace's requirements.
- Can I do a first aid course online?
- Some providers offer online theory components with a face-to-face practical session for CPR and first aid skills, while others run fully in-person courses. This varies by provider, so confirm the course format before booking.
