The Emergency Australia HLT21020 Certificate II in Medical Service First Response is an intensive practical course, enabling course graduates entry into a wide range of first responder roles.
During the intensive practical session, learners are trained and assessed using the SIMMAN 3G.
This course has been designed by former military and emergency response personnel, to equip students with the clinical skills and knowledge, to perform first response roles in a range of sectors.
In order to prepare students for real-world emergencies, we have made this course hands-on and scenario-intensive. As an Emergency Australia learner, you will be immersed in scenarios using high-fidelity manikins and skills stations to build your confidence and capability as a first responder.
Learners will have access to our online coursework and will be required to complete a number of knowledge-based assessments before attending the intensive practical. Refer to our course overview for details on pre-course commitments.
