    I am hoping someone can help me out as the pod board of Australia were unable to answer my question clearly.

    As part of our CPD requirements we a required to
    "hold a current CPR certificate that includes management of anapphylaxis and use of AED from an approve training organization"

    I completed an apply first aid course three years ago. Every year I have completed a CPR training package that goes through CPR, anaphylaxis and AED use. I currently hold the HLTCPR211A certificate which has been superseded by the HLTAID001 training package.
    Do I need to go back and complete a full first aid course or will complete the new HLTAID01 course?

    Any help appreciated

    Luke - check with the provider of the course you did (or itmay be on the certificate). Some HLTCPR211A are apparently valid for 2 yrs and some for 3yrs - when your HLTCPR211A "expires", you need to do the full HLTAID001 ... its a pain and I find it insulting to my intelligence, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
