New Zealand Red Cross runs a range of first aid courses, health & safety courses and emergency management courses. We work with a number of organisations (including NZQA, the Department of Labour, The NZ Resuscitation Council and various industry bodies) to ensure our courses will meet your requirements.
As well as offering a large number of public courses in many locations, we can run exclusive courses for corporate or community groups at times and locations that suit you/your members or students. If you have a number of people to be trained and think an exclusive course may suit you best, please call 0800 RED CROSS (0800 733 276) or contact us with your details.
