Our principles

We strive to enhance the health and safety of our communities by providing relevant First Aid training that meets the needs of our clients. We also provide financial support for local community organisations and give each course participant the opportunity to direct funding to their preferred organisation.

Relevant First Aid training

Our courses are recognised by OSH as Workplace First Aid courses and accredited by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority and the Ministry of Education. While meeting compliance requirements and a high standard of teaching our courses are underpinned by the desire to provide every individual with relevant and practical training that provides them with the skills and confidence to cope in emergency situations. Furthermore, our courses help to increase health and safety in communities by promoting safety awareness, injury prevention and injury recovery.
