First Aid Skills

First aid without boundaries.

Struggling to find the time to book a face-to-face first aid course? With First Aid Skills you can work through modules at your own pace and equip yourself with the vital knowledge to assist your friends and loved ones in an emergency situation. 

First Aid Skills can be accessed via our mobile app, online web app, and soon to be released on an interactive Virtual Reality platform. You really can take first aid skills with you anywhere now, with access to knowledge in your pocket, home and workplace when you need it.

Get started with the free DRSABCD skill where you learn the life-saving first aid action plan. Continue your learning with our wide range of skills for $2.99 each, which will immerse you in life-like scenarios to equip you in a first aid emergency. We also have a range of online course bundles (comprising multiple individual skills) from $5.

We are excited to bring our industry leading first aid training into the digital era, with our new St John First Aid Skills program available on desktop and mobile (Android and iOS), with virtual reality based courses coming soon. 

As part of our purpose at St John we want to make first aid a part of everyone's life, and through our new digital first aid training suite, we believe we can make first aid training more accessible than ever before.    

How do the skills work?

Our friendly guide Mia (Medical information assistant) will guide you through the steps during your online training. And at the end of each skill or course you complete, if you create a St John profile, we will email you a certificate of completion.

Are they suitable for school children?

First Aid Skills is designed to benefit all people who want to learn first aid skills but find it difficult to commit to an in-person course. Participants can complete St John Skills in their own time, in the office, at home or in the classroom. St John WA currently utilises the First Aid Skills app through the Youth Engagement program, where school children up are taught first aid skills in the classroom. The courses available are recommended for children 10 years and up.
