FAQ
What is the difference between an express and standard course?
Excellent question!
An express course is where part of the course is delivered and assessed online.
We provide you with access to our online learning platform where you watch professional first aid videos and answer some multiple-choice questions.
This means that you attend a shorter session at our training centres (or your workplace if you are organising onsite training).
Our online learning platform is user friendly and can be accessed on desktops, laptops, tablets and even your smartphone!
A standard course is where the content and assessment is conducted completely face-to-face with no e-learning prior to training.
This means you attend a longer in-class session.
Some of our courses offer both modes of delivery, however, some courses only offer one or the other.
The accreditation you receive from each delivery mode is the same.
The only difference between the two is the style of delivery and assessment.
Since the introduction of express courses in 2020, they have become the most popular way of people completing training with us.

How can I find my USI? What is a USI!
Create or retrieve your USI here- usi.gov.au
From 1 January 2015 all students undertaking nationally recognised training delivered by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) such as Paradise First Aid will need to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI).
A USI gives students access to their online USI account which is made up of ten numbers and letters.
It will look something like this: 3AW88YH9U5.
A USI account will contain all of a student’s nationally recognised training records and results from 1 January 2015 onwards.
A student’s results from 2015 will be available in their USI account in 2016.
When applying for a job or enrolling in further study, students will often need to provide their training records and results.
One of the main benefits of the USI is that students will have easy access to their training records and results throughout their life.
Students can access their USI account online from a computer, tablet or smart phone anywhere and anytime.
