What is the difference between HLTAID011 and HLTAID012?

The nationally recognised HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting unit goes beyond general first aid by focusing on:
- Child-specific emergencies – including infant and child CPR, choking, allergic reactions, febrile convulsions and common childhood injuries.

- Education and care regulatory requirements – meeting the first aid, CPR, asthma and anaphylaxis training requirements set for approved education and care services in Australia.
