To begin with, spend a day with a Training NSW Chester Hill instructor and see how practical CPR and First Aid training builds confidence, workplace compliance, and nationally recognised certification. In fact, whether you are considering HLTAID009 (Provide CPR) or HLTAID011 (Provide First Aid), this behind-the-scenes look explains exactly what to expect at our Chester Hill centre.
Morning Setup with a Training NSW Chester Hill Instructor
First of all, the Training NSW Chester Hill instructor arrives early to prepare the space. The session begins with a quick review of the participant list, pre-course notes, and any accessibility needs. As a result, the room layout, seating plan, and equipment are ready before the first learner walks in. In addition, CPR manikins are calibrated for depth and recoil, AED trainers are tested for clear prompts, and PPE, bandages, and epinephrine trainers are placed within easy reach. Afterwards, housekeeping covers facilities, breaks, assessments, and how the day will run, which immediately reduces learner anxiety.
For those who prefer CPR only, you can review the outline for HLTAID009: Provide CPR. Conversely, if your workplace requires broader capability, you may wish to book the full First Aid option.
Moreover, our instructors bring real-world backgrounds from healthcare, emergency response, and community sport. Consequently, examples are authentic, jargon is translated into plain language, and advice is practical. Because the Training NSW Chester Hill instructor has taught hundreds of learners, they know where people commonly struggle and how to coach through it. In addition, feedback is delivered constructively, which keeps momentum high and ensures everyone progresses together.
Mid-Morning: CPR & AED Practice
Technique, Feedback, and Realistic Pace
Afterwards, learners move into practical CPR and AED sessions. They practise compressions, breaths, and AED pad placement while rotating through stations. Meanwhile, the Training NSW Chester Hill instructor coaches cadence at 100–120 per minute, depth, and full recoil to build strong habits. For example, short workplace scenarios such as an unresponsive adult in a warehouse aisle or a collapse in a break room help learners apply skills under gentle time pressure. Consequently, they become comfortable switching from assessment to action without freezing.

Assessment Approach: Supportive and Fair
Importantly, assessments are integrated throughout the day rather than saved for the end. Therefore, learners receive immediate guidance and can correct technique in real time. Because tasks are broken into clear steps, the process feels achievable even for first-timers. As an example, the assessor might observe compressions in one round and AED operation in the next, which keeps cognitive load manageable.
Afternoon First Aid: Scenarios That Stick
From Primary Survey to Incident Management
Later in the day, the scope expands to bleeding control, burns, fractures, sprains, eye injuries, shock, asthma and anaphylaxis awareness, and choking. Furthermore, the Training NSW Chester Hill instructor demonstrates effective first steps, common mistakes to avoid, how to brief bystanders, and how to deliver a concise handover to Triple Zero (000). As an example, a choking drill helps participants practise back blows and abdominal thrusts safely while maintaining casualty dignity.
What to Bring and How to Prepare
Before you arrive, bring comfortable clothing, closed shoes, and any personal medications. Similarly, consider a water bottle and light snacks so you can focus during practice. Because the course includes kneeling and performing compressions on the floor, you may wish to bring a small towel or cushion for comfort. If you have mobility concerns, simply let us know in advance so adjustments can be made without stress.
Location and Access
Conveniently, our centre is located at 2/5 Chester Hill Road, directly opposite Chester Hill Train Station. Consequently, public transport access is straightforward and parking options are close by. Since sessions run on multiple days, you can choose a time that suits your commute and schedule.

Compliance & Best Practice
We align with Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidance and WHS expectations. For context on first aid roles, kits and facilities, see Safe Work Australia’s first aid guidance.
After-Course Support
Because skills fade over time, we provide reminders and refresher options so your knowledge stays sharp. As a result, you will know when it is time to book your next update and which course level suits your responsibilities. In addition, we offer guidance on workplace kits and AED placement, which helps convert training into safer environments.
What Participants Say
Time and again, learners tell us the day feels fast, practical, and surprisingly enjoyable. For example, many participants arrive nervous and leave confident, which is exactly what good training should achieve. Consequently, teams return to work ready to respond rather than simply holding a certificate. Above all, they remember the calm coaching style of the Training NSW Chester Hill instructor and the way complex topics became simple.
