Basic First Aid
Consider Basic when the documented workplace requirement calls for the basic attendant level.
Workplace course comparison
Basic First Aid vs Intermediate First Aid
Keep the employer’s written assessment beside you. The required workplace level depends on the site and duties, rather than a preference for a longer course.
Compare the two options
Intermediate First Aid
Compare Intermediate when the assessment calls for broader attendant responsibilities and response skills.
Recheck when the workplace changes
Worker numbers, hazards, access and a new location can change the assessment. A small site or a familiar job title does not establish the required level by itself.
Plan coverage as well as training
Keep the required level, equipment and shift coverage together. Taking more training does not replace the workplace plan. Ask separately about transport duties when relevant.
