First Aid Training

First aid training for security guards is a mandatory part of gaining and keeping a security licence in Australia. It puts you at the front line when someone is hurt, unwell, or unresponsive. Every Australian state and territory requires you to hold a current first aid qualification as a condition of your security licence, and that qualification must be renewed on a set schedule. The skills and knowledge behind it also fade quickly, which is where the gap between holding a certificate and being prepared to act starts to open.
