Michelle Erwin

I attended a First Aid/CPR course this morning and was thoroughly impressed. The facilitator, Allan, was fantastic—extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. He created a comfortable environment that encouraged everyone to participate, and he delivered the content in a way that made the learning both memorable and enjoyable.

This is the second time I’ve done the course with Allan, and I’ve been very happy both times. I’ve completed numerous courses over the years, and I can honestly say Allan is an exceptionally good educator!

International Paramedic College was an exceptional stepping stone in my journey. Craig and the team are not only highly skilled but also genuinely passionate about providing the best possible training. Their teaching methods go above and beyond, ensuring that students feel supported and equipped for the challenges of the profession.

One of the standout aspects of the program is the emphasis on real-life scenarios. These practical experiences bring theory to life and paint a vivid picture of what we might encounter in the field. This hands-on approach made the learning process engaging and deeply impactful, leaving me feeling more prepared to handle complex situations with confidence and professionalism.

The skills and knowledge I gained from IPC are invaluable. The supportive environment fostered by the instructors truly sets IPC apart, making it an ideal choice for anyone serious about pursuing a career in this field.

I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality paramedic training. It’s a decision that will positively shape your career and equip you with the tools to make a real difference in the lives of others.

Colleen McNall

Al once again did a very engaging and informative course today. He’s an asset to you. Thankyou.

Chris James

What I particularly enjoyed about Craigs teaching of this course, was how with his vast experience he was able to keep bringing us back to the most important aspects of first aid, and how this was extremely empowering for us all…. to have the knowledge and the motivation to be able to act where others would freeze up,

Review: This was a great Course and I learnt heaps from it. I needed to upgrade my First Aid skills as we will doing medivacs on the rescue vessels.
I looked at a number of courses but being in far north Queensland there are not many courses available in my area. I originally was going to do the Certificate 2 in Health Care, but after talking to the staff at the College I found that I could do the Certificate 3 completely online. The price was also attractive, as it was considerably less than other Colleges. Many of the practical sessions are completed by video, which was good. The units are well written, very informative and easy to understand. I really enjoyed this course and learnt a great deal.

Sophia Baird

I did my CPR and First Aid with Alan in Lismore, I enjoyed every second of the day. He created a fun environment that made learning the content easy and enjoyable.

10-/10!

Taylor Pocock

I completed a cert 3 in Basic healthcare online through these guys and I am very happy with how the units and course information was constructed. Even the feedback was constructive and easy to understand.

Layla Herth

Such a fabulous teacher and made it fun and extra informative. Would highly recommend this First Aid and CPR course

Jett Krohn

I am currently studying with IPC and the support I receive from Craig and his team is second to none
The online training is well presented and easy to navigate. The learning is relevant to my industry. It helps being able to call the trainers and receive feedback and advice. I look forward to completing my study with IPC and will certainly use them again.

Sophie Hammond

Al was an amazing instructor with plenty of knowledge and experience. I always choose to train with IPC over other organisations because they have a great training structure and skillful trainer/assessors. It was a great day of learning and abit of fun.

Career Opportunities in the Health and Community Sector

The health and community services sector is one of Australia’s fastest growing industries, with evolving roles driven by advances in patient care and service delivery. The nationally recognised units and qualifications we offer can support a wide range of job roles across this dynamic sector.

We encourage you to explore our training options and consider how they align with your career goals. You may wish to develop a career plan to help identify the skills and qualifications you need.

To find out more about how our courses can support your pathway into the health and community services workforce, or for personalised assistance, please contact us.

The Diploma of Emergency Health Care does not meet the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) standards for national registration as a paramedic within state-based ambulance services. To achieve this, you must enrol in a university and complete a three-year degree, a requirement consistent across all Australian providers. If you are looking to go into a state-based ambulance service straight away, then the university pathway would probably be best for you. Any advanced standing will be dependent on individual university requirements, and students should seek advice from any relevant tertiary institution before enrolment to determine the entry requirements for any specific field of study they may want to pursue in the future.
