Why choose Medics for Life over other providers?
When people usually think of CPR or First Aid training they often think of the big providers, but the fact is big doesn't necessarily mean better or more qualified. Under the ASQA structure, any accredited course delivered by (or on behalf of) a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) carries the same qualification and standing nationally.
Some of the issues with these big providers are:
You must: be able to demonstrate that the practice team has been provided with training on the safe use of equipment.
GP3.1 D Our clinical team is aware of the potential risks associated with the equipment they use.
You must: be able to demonstrate that the clinical team has been educated on the safe use of equipment.

Under the ASQA structure, any accredited course delivered by (or on behalf of) a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) carries the same qualification and standing nationally.
Some of the issues with these big providers are:
- They tend to charge a premium for their name rather than the quality or standing of the qualification.
- They carry large overheads that they pass on to the customer.
- They are not specialists in providing training to primary care (particularly clinical staff)..
- Most of their trainers lack any experience of the things they are teaching others and usually have no qualifications in the subject beyond their students.
- Course material is highly structured and generic. This means that regardless of the customer or workplace needs, this structure cannot be altered e.g. prior knowledge and experience/training, special hazards in a workplace or clinical qualifications.
- They tend to market their courses as representing a more recognised qualification. While this may have been true many years ago, the fact is that today this is just marketing. All accredited training carries the same qualification, recognised anywhere in Australia (this is why we have a national training system).
- These larger providers are often not accredited RACGP or ACRRM education providers, leaving GPs to chase their own points.
- Most BLS-CPR training conducted for general practices does not cover the accreditation requirements in the 5th Edition Standards from the RACGP.
