What is the first aid course teachers are required to do? How do you arrange it?

Also, regarding applying for a blue card, does anyone know if you can apply for a card without an employer? I'd like to get one in advance so if I need it I don't need to wait on it being processed but looking on the official website it looks like you need to apply for it through an employer?
It varies, some places will want Senior First Aid others will want the one specially for working in schools so you need to find out. You can do First Aid courses through the Red Cross, it doesn't cost a huge amount and lasts for 2 years before you need to do a refresher course.

Did mine here in SA with St Johns Ambulance think it was about $100 and it had to be the senior first aider. I was surprised how many occupations require it here, good idea though.

Just booked mine with St Johns Ambulance, $140 for a two day course...I think it's a very good idea, in Norn Irn only one person really needed to be a first aider in the school, RIDICULOUS!!!

Hi there,
My hubby said you were very helpful so I would like to ask you the following.
How did you register as a Secondary Teacher in Qld in the first place?
I am struggling with the Declarion section -ability to teach.
All I have been told is:"The Register officer has told me that "The declaration is at the end of the application form - you need to read the document - sign the declaration in front of an authorised person. You do not need to complete a blank statutory declaration form (having no convictions). Please read the application guidelines for further information", which frankly is not helpful at all.

Am I missing something? There is no document at the end of the application form!
