The best choice depends on your goals, workplace needs, and location — not just the brand name.
Look for RTO accreditation (Registered Training Organisation).Check the course codes: HLTAID009 (CPR), HLTAID011 (First Aid), HLTAID012 (Childcare).Without these, your certificate won't be accepted by employers.Large providers may only run classes in CBD.Local RTOs like Achievers College offer sessions in Adelaide CBD, Marion, Glenelg, and Norwood.Evening and weekend sessions are a huge plus for shift workers and parents.The best courses are taught by trainers with real emergency backgrounds (nurses, paramedics, healthcare workers).They don't just teach "the manual" — they share real scenarios that stick with you.CPR: $60–$80.First Aid: $110–$150.Childcare First Aid: $120–$160.Watch out for online-only "cheap courses" — they're not nationally recognised.Daily sessions across multiple suburbs.Group bookings for workplaces.Trainers with lived emergency experience.Personal support — easier communication than large call centres.Providers offering "100% online" First Aid (not recognised in Australia).Prices that seem too cheap — may skip accreditation.Lack of clear course codes on websites.No mention of RTO registration.Ready to enrol?
