Is Certo First Aid Training accredited? Will my certificate be nationally recognised?
Yes, Certo First Aid Training operates as an associate provider of H.E.R.T. (RTO: 32332) which means your certificate is nationally recognised. We follow Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment certificate.
Is there anything I need to do before my training?
Only those doing Childcare First Aid (HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an Education & Care Setting) and the Asthma and Anaphylaxis course (22578VIC Course in First Aid Management of Anaphylaxis & 22556VIC Management of Asthma Risks & Emergencies in the Workplace) will need to read pre-course material which will be sent to you via email before the course.
For all other courses, there is no pre-course reading.
What is a USI and how do I apply for it if I don’t have one?
USI stands for “Unique Student Identifier”. It is a reference number made up of 10 digits and capital letters that gives you access to an online record of the training you have done since 1 January 2015. You can use your USI to produce a comprehensive transcript of your training. This can be presented when applying for jobs, seeking credit transfers or demonstrating pre-requisites when undertaking further training. The USI is compulsory for anyone doing Vocational Education Training anywhere in Australia.
