New Zealand First Aid Certificate
 

​​

The New Zealand First Aid Certificate is our most comprehensive first aid course. It is designed for people working in higher-risk workplaces, outdoor environments, and rural settings, as well as in roles where emergency response skills may be needed before professional help arrives.

​

Suitable for workplace first aiders, construction and trade workers, farmers, outdoor instructors, recreation leaders, trampers, hunters, and anyone wanting a more advanced first aid qualification.

​

You’ll learn CPR, choking management, severe bleeding control, medical emergencies, burns, fractures, environmental emergencies, poisoning, and emergency scene management through practical hands-on training and realistic scenarios.

​

Choose your format:

• In-person: 12 hours of practical learning over two days

• Blended: Around 4 hours of online pre-learning plus 8 hours in person, completed in one day

Both options lead to the same nationally recognised qualification and meet WorkSafe New Zealand workplace first aid requirements.
