About Us
About Us
Shield Training was started by a group of Paramedics and former military personnel who noticed a lack of quality first aid training in the community. In Australia, over 33,000 people suffer cardiac arrest each year. Australia has an extremely poor survival rate for Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrests with on average, only a 9% survival rate.
Early defibrillation increases survival rates by a whopping 70%. Unfortunately there are few Australians who have the skills to save a life. High quality first aid training and early access to defibrillators will increase our survival rates.
That is where we come in.
How are we different from other First Aid providers?
We know emergencies better than other First Aid providers – we are not merely trainers, we are all serving Paramedics who save lives every day. We are passionate about ensuring that First Aid training standards are high and deliver the result you could need at any time. We don’t merely follow a syllabus; we teach you real life, practical first aid to ensure your qualification/accreditation is more than a piece of paper.
Ensure that this year, you learn a skill that can save you, your child’s or a stranger on the street’s life.
As ex ADF personnel, we are strong supporters of Veteran employment. If you are a veteran, please drop us a line and introduce yourself and see if we can help you and your employment beyond the military.
We offer discounts for all emergency service and ex ADF personnel. Always have, always will.
“You are so much more thorough than any other first aid course we have done – so much more than a tick in a box”
