HLTAID010 Provide Basic Emergency Life Support

Need more than just CPR but don’t want a full two-day first aid course? The HLTAID010 Provide Basic Emergency Life Support course is the sweet spot for busy people in the Central West. What is the HLTAID010 BELS Course? The HLTAID010 Provide Basic Emergency Life Support course is often described as the essential “bridge” between a simple CPR certificate and a full First Aid qualification. This course provides a robust foundation for responding to life-threatening emergencies. While it includes the full CPR (HLTAID009) curriculum, it goes significantly further by teaching participants how to stabilize a casualty experiencing a medical crisis. You will learn to identify and manage the “big three” killers: cardiac arrest, choking, and severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), as well as the emergency administration of asthma medication. Why This Level of Training is Vital In a fast-paced workplace or a busy household, an emergency doesn’t always start with someone collapsing. Often, it begins with a child struggling to breathe during an asthma attack or a colleague showing signs of a severe allergic reaction after lunch. In the regional hubs of Bathurst, Lithgow, and Cowra, being able to provide “Basic Emergency Life Support” means you have the specific skills to stop a situation from escalating into a fatality. This course is particularly popular for office-based employees, retail staff, and those who want more than just CPR skills but don’t require the full trauma-management modules found in higher-level courses. Why Tailored First Aid is Well-Equipped to Teach BELS At Tailored First Aid, we don’t believe in “dry” medical training. Our HLTAID010 sessions are designed to be high-energy and hands-on.
