Live virtual classroom: Learn first aid online with Red Cross
You can complete a fully accredited first aid course anywhere you have access to the internet with live virtual training offered by Red Cross.
We'll send you a training pack with all the items you'll need to complete your chosen course, like a manikin to practice CPR on and trainer defibrillator pads, inhalers and bandages. We'll also give you access to eLearning modules that you can complete in your own time, at your own pace (Note: an additional $10 fee applies if a PO Box address is used).
To complete the course, a fully qualified Red Cross trainer will take you through a live virtual training and assessment session at a pre-booked time. Once you've passed your assessment we'll email a nationally recognised statement of attainment to you.
