LVR/CPR Certificate
First Aid Pro Adelaide prides itself on offering high-quality training and excellent customer service. We go to great lengths to ensure that all candidates who complete the UETDRRF004 Perform Rescue From a Live LV Panel and HLTAID001 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation receive their nationally accredited certificate on the same day.
To issue the certification, you will need to have completed the preliminary reading, associated quiz and have provided your USI (Unique Student Identifier) number. See below for more information. You must supply your USI numbers before the completion of the training course.
Certificates are issued electronically and sent to the email address you use when registering for the course. Paper copies of the certificate are available for an additional fee of $12.00, which includes postage.
We recommend that students complete refresher training annually.
USI Requirements
In line with new government regulations, from January 1, 2018, all students undertaking a nationally recognised training course need to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). USI’s only need to be created once and the number generated is yours for life. So, if you are already studying at college or university, it is likely you already have a USI. Applications for a USI take less than five minutes to complete. You can find everything you need here.
