Why Perth Businesses Are Choosing Blended First Aid Training

 

The Benefits of Online Plus Practical Training for Busy Teams

Perth businesses need to maintain compliance while keeping their teams productive. Blended learning — which combines online theory modules with a face-to-face practical session. Several providers in Perth offer blended options; however, many of them have long face-to-face practical session that takes up to one day, while WJS Training can train fast without compromising the quality, making first aid training faster and more flexible.

First aid qualifications should be renewed every three years, with CPR refresher training recommended annually to maintain competency. [source]

Here’s why workplaces are switching:

  • Staff can complete the online component at a time that suits them.
  • Onsite practical sessions reduce travel and time away from work.
  • Helps staff stay attentive and remember procedures more easily.
  • Less downtime for teams — especially in high-turnover industries.

For HR teams and safety managers, this means less admin, easier coordination, and faster turnaround for new starters or renewals.
