All available courses

Choose how to complete your NZQA accredited First Aid course, whether that be at one of our training venues, your workplace or through our online learning platform.

We recommend if you’re a medium- high risk workplace to book a Comprehensive First Aid course and if you’re a low risk workplace, book an Essential First Aid course. And for basic first aid skills, book our Save-a-Life course. For more information, read about each of our course offerings below.
