First Aid Requirements 001 or 004
Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2019 10:45 am
Hi!
I am currently studying my cert 3 and have recently moved to a new town and gained employment in an OSHC program.
I have my first aid and all other requirements, but the new centre wants me to pay for the first aid course ending in 004. I understand this is a child care specific first aid course. But I have done the refresher course last year and I'm covered up until mid march.
The refresher I have done is through Queensland Ambulance Service and is titled: PCPR with asthma (non-acredited) anaphylaxis (non-acredited) for childcare centres. Is this acceptable until it's time to re do it? It covered all the topics in childcare.
Ultimately if I have to do it I will, but why was this acceptable at my previous centre and not at the OSHC when my old centre was rated exceeding? Surely something like that would not have passed?
Kind regards,
Tiarna
