CPR Course in Orange - HLTAID009 Provide CPR
The yearly CPR refresh, run every week at our training centre in the Orange Arcade. Do the short theory online at home, then 45 minutes hands-on with our trainers. $75, nationally recognised, and we never cancel a course due to low enrolments.
Is this the right course? Book the CPR course if your first aid certificate is still current and your yearly CPR refresh is due. Renew it every 12 months.
No current first aid certificate, or it's run out? You need the first aid course in Orange instead - HLTAID011, $180, valid 3 years. CPR is included, so you don't book both.
No prerequisite - anyone can book. You'll need to be able to kneel on the floor and do CPR on a manikin. See Before you book below.

What the CPR course covers
One nationally recognised unit: HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It's the CPR part of the full first aid course, on its own, so it's the quickest way to keep your skills current between first aid renewals.
Recognising someone needs CPR
How to check someone who's collapsed, keep yourself safe, and call Triple Zero (000) - and what to tell them so the ambos are on their way fast.
CPR and the defib
CPR on adults and infants and how to use a defibrillator (AED). You'll practise on the manikins until it feels automatic - that's where the 45 minutes goes.
Keeping it going until help arrives
Handing over to the ambos, the recovery position, looking after yourself afterwards, and filling in an incident report.
It's practical from the minute you walk in. Our trainers have spent years in sport and health and run CPR for workplaces, clubs and schools across the Central West, so you get the real thing, not a lecture. Everything follows current Australian Resuscitation Council (ANZCOR) guidelines.
Who does the CPR course in Orange?
Most people in the room are there for one of these reasons:
- People whose first aid certificate is still current and whose yearly CPR refresh is due - the biggest group every week
- Workplace first aiders, fitness and allied health staff, coaches and anyone whose job asks for a current CPR certificate
- Sports clubs and volunteers who are first to the player on a Saturday
- Parents, grandparents and carers who want to know what to do if someone stops breathing
First aid certificate run out, or never done one? Book the first aid course in Orange instead - it includes CPR, so there's nothing to book on top.
Before you book
No prerequisite
You don't need any previous training. People renewing and first-timers do the same session together.
You need to be physically up to it
This is a hands-on course. You'll be kneeling on the floor doing 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR on a manikin, and practising on adult and infant manikins. If a knee, back or anything else makes that hard, give Scott a call on 0488 749 013 before you book and we'll talk it through.
Do the online theory first
When you book you'll get a login for the online theory. It's short - work through it at your own pace on a phone, tablet or computer, and finish it before you come in. The face-to-face session is all practical, so there's no catching up on the day.
What to wear and bring
Comfortable clothes you can kneel and move in, and closed shoes. Bring photo ID (driver's licence, passport or student card). You'll also need a Unique Student Identifier (USI) - it's free, takes a few minutes online, and we can't issue your certificate without it. See our booking FAQs for how to get one.
How the CPR course runs
- Book online. Pick a date from the list above, pay, and you're locked in. You'll get an email with your login for the online theory.
- Do the theory at home. It's short. Work through it at your own pace and finish it before course day.
- 45 minutes face to face in Orange. Hands-on practice with our trainers at the Orange Arcade training centre - CPR on the manikins and the defib.
- Get assessed. CPR on adult and infant manikins, including using the defib, plus a short multiple-choice theory test.
- Certificate sorted. Your Statement of Attainment for HLTAID009 is issued by Allens Training once you've completed everything. Put the date in your diary - it's due again in 12 months.

CPR training for your workplace, club or school
Got a team to keep current? We run the CPR course on demand for workplaces, sports clubs, schools and childcare centres - at your site or at our Orange training centre, on a day that suits you. Everyone does the short online theory beforehand, then we come to you for the practical. One date, one invoice, everyone's CPR sorted together for the year.
See our group and onsite first aid training page for how it works, or send us a quick enquiry and we'll find a date.
CPR course in Orange - your questions
How often do I need to renew my CPR certificate?
Every 12 months. That's the HLTAID009 CPR course - 45 minutes face to face, $75. Your full first aid certificate (HLTAID011) lasts 3 years, so most people do the CPR refresh twice in between, then the full first aid course again when the 3 years is up.
Is CPR included in the first aid course?
Yes. HLTAID011 Provide First Aid includes HLTAID009 Provide CPR, and you get both on your certificate. So if you're booking first aid, don't book CPR as well. Book this CPR course on its own only when your first aid is still current and the yearly CPR refresh is due.
How long does the CPR course take?
Short online theory at your own pace at home, then 45 minutes face to face at our training centre in the Orange Arcade. The face-to-face session is all hands-on - CPR on the manikins and the defib - so finish the theory before you come in.
What do I need to bring to the CPR course?
Photo ID, your Unique Student Identifier (USI), comfortable clothes you can kneel in, and closed shoes. Have your online theory finished before you arrive. Everything else - manikins and defib trainers - is here.
Is the CPR course hard? Do I need to be fit?
No, it's not hard - our trainers walk you through it and you practise until you've got it. The one physical bit is CPR itself: you'll be kneeling on the floor doing 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR on a manikin. If you're worried about a knee or a back, call us on 0488 749 013 before you book and we'll work it out.
Can I do the CPR course online?
Not all of it. The theory is online, but CPR is a hands-on skill and the practical assessment on the manikins has to be done in person - that's the 45 minutes with us in Orange. A certificate from a 100% online CPR course isn't nationally recognised for HLTAID009.
