Basic Emergency Life Support (BELS) is the mid-tier emergency response qualification. It sits between standalone CPR and full first aid, and covers how to manage a casualty who is unconscious, bleeding, choking, in shock, or experiencing anaphylaxis, asthma or stroke. Built for public-facing and frontline roles who need to respond to a life-threatening emergency before help arrives.
Every course is aligned to current Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and ASCIA guidance. When the protocols update, our content updates.

How PTP delivers
-
Every HLTAID010 course is delivered at your workplace by a nationally qualified PTP trainer. You choose the date, the time and the location. We bring the manikins, the AEDs, the epipen trainers and every other piece of equipment your team needs to practise on. Your staff stay on-site, in the environment they actually work in.
-
HLTAID010 focuses on the life-threatening emergencies your team is most likely to face at work. Unconscious casualty, uncontrolled bleeding, choking, anaphylaxis, asthma, stroke. Every scenario is built around real workplace situations, not textbook drills. Learners practise what to do first, what to do next, and what to hand over to paramedics
-
Groups are kept deliberately small so every learner gets hands-on time with adult and infant manikins. That matters. Retention on emergency response drops sharply when learners only watch. PTP courses are built around active practice, spaced repetition and scenario-based decision-making, so what your team learns actually sticks.
-
Statements of Attainment issued digitally within 24 hours of course completion. Your Unique Student Identifier (USI) is captured before we arrive to keep the paperwork fast.
