WHAT TYPE OF COURSES DO YOU PROVIDE? We provide nationally-recognised first aid, safety and health-related courses to businesses, groups and individuals looking to up-skill or refresh their current qualifications. We also offer cutting-edge non-accredited courses perfect for everyone - whether you're an employee wanting to boost your resume, a student who wants to gain insight or advanced-standing in a future career choice, or you have a topic of interest that you want to learn more about - there's a course for you.
CAN YOU GUARENTEE MY CERTIFICATION WILL BE PROFESSIONALLY RECOGNISED? Salt Training Academy has partnered with Australia's #1 RTO, Allens Training, ensuring that all of our course instruction and practical training are aligned with legal, workplace and community considerations, Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines, and other Australian national peak clinical bodies. By combining this structure with our real-life, hands-on experience, we can guarantee that the qualification you receive is of the highest standard. Your certificate will come with it's own unique link that will take you or your employer to the Allens Training website which will verify the authenticity of your certification.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NATIONALLY RECOGNISED & NON-ACCREDITED COURSES? A Nationally recognised course is the type of course that workplaces and specific industries require their staff to obtain prior to working in a particular setting. They will be recognised by a specific code (e.g. HLTAID011). You can be guaranteed that the courses we offer contain the most up-to date information and are always staying at the cutting-edge of industry requirements. Someone may benefit from completing a non-accredited course if: + it is a 'refresher' of a previously attained course. + when it is seen as a 'desirable' skill-set to add to a resume. + it is a personal area of interest for you or you are wanting to gain new knowledge & skills for personal development.
DO YOU HAVE ONLINE-ONLY COURSE OPTIONS? We offer a wide range of online-only courses so you can go at your own pace and receive your certificate as soon as you are done. Some nationally-recognised courses require us to have a face-to-face assessment component, thankfully, with us, its brief. By partnering with Australia's #1 RTO in these instances we can provide you with streamlined online/face-to-face hybrid courses that merge an optimised online learning portal with qualified life experience and hands-on guidance. This style of learning has revolutionised first aid and safety training in Australia.
WHERE ARE THE COURSES RUN? We are a local, family-owned & operated business offering the face-to-face components of our courses throughout NSW's mid-north coast. For group bookings, we can come to you.
WILL I HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PRACTICE FOR MY CPR ASSESSMENT? Firstly, we guarantee small group sizes when completing face-to-face assessments. This ensures that we can answer all of your burning questions. We have also invested in top-of-the-line equipment including manikins for our first aid related courses which provide audio & visual feedback so that you can dial-in your CPR technique in real-time so that you leave feeling confident in your new skill set.
