Key Takeaway:
HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid (Includes CPR) for unarmed security officers.
HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid – for bodyguards
So you want to work in security? Smart move—but before you start busting heads (metaphorically, of course), you’ll need the right first aid training. Here’s the real deal on what first aid course you need for your QLD security licence.
Unarmed Security Officer
Required First Aid:
HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid (Includes CPR)
This is the minimum for guarding, patrolling, or loss prevention gigs.
Why? Because you’re the first responder when things go sideways—brawls, medical emergencies, or that one drunk guy who thinks he’s invincible. In fact, the Queensland Government requires you to have it to apply for a license
Bodyguard
Required First Aid:
HLTAID014 Provide Advanced First Aid (Includes more advanced trauma care)
This isn’t just a box-ticking exercise—it’s essential for high-risk gigs.
It’s mandated in the Queensland Governments list of training to apply for a bodyguard license.
Extra Notes for Aspiring Security Pros
- CPR must be renewed every 12 months—even if your full first aid cert lasts longer.
- No shortcuts: QLD Govt only accepts courses from registered training orgs (no dodgy cheap online unrecognised courses).
Bottom Line:
If you’re serious about security, first aid isn’t optional—it’s your legal and moral duty.
Need your certs? Let us teach you, no fluff, just the skills you actually need.
