CPPFES2005 Demonstrate first attack firefighting equipment (Fire extinguisher training)
This short course provides your team with the skills to quickly and safely respond to a fire in the workplace using portable fire fighting equipment.
Ignition of a fire in the workplace requires a timely and relevant response. The scale of a fire can quickly escalate, placing both the building and, more importantly, people at risk. Having the skills to correctly use first attack firefighting equipment to respond to a fire can minimise the risks of injuries to personnel or damage to facilities and equipment.
This course meets the workplace health and safety obligations for ensuring your team is competent in using portable fire extinguishers at your office, factory, warehouse, or other work site.

This will depend on the type of visa that you have.
For example restrictions apply to international visitors who hold a Student Visa. Any course undertaken by a Student Visa holder must be conducted by a provider who is registered on CRICOS. As Elbon Consulting Services Pty Ltd is not CRICOS approved we are unable to accept enrolments into any of our courses from any international visitor that holds a Student Visa.
International visitors who hold a Working Holiday Visa may be eligible to enrol into our courses once they arrive in Australia. This is important as some occupations in Australia will have legislative and/or licencing requirements relating to qualifications. International visitors will still be required to provide a valid USI (Unique Student Identifier) prior to enrolling into any Nationally Recognised Training. When registering for your USI number if you select Non-Australian Passport (with Australian Visa) as your form of ID, you will need to enter your Non-Australian passport number when creating your USI.

This will only happen when the student crosses the border into Australia. Once the passport is registered with the Department of Immigration it can be verified and the student will be able to create a USI using their New Zealand passport.
