First aid is an important part of everyday life – at home, work or at play. Everyone should learn first aid and be willing to administer basic care until emergency assistance arrives.
Not every incident that requires first aid is a life-or-death situation but first aid can help in even minor incidents. You will get all the information you need from us – and we are confident you will remember it when you are put on the spot.
We know you won’t always have specialist first aid equipment on hand, and we will show you how to improvise in an emergency. At the end of the day this is “first aid” – you need to be able to act before the professionals get there.
Our courses are not dull or boring, they are customised to you. Our examples will be relevant to your life and activities. Our training is fully flexible – we work to your schedule. Not only do we run regular public courses, but we can come to you in an environment you and your staff are comfortable in.

Chorus Future Business Leader 2016 and 2018 Westpac Otago Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards
The awards process was great to be a part of and we would strongly encourage other businesses to put their hand up and enter.
The 2016 Westpac Otago Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards was a great process for us to be involved with. It was the first time we put ourselves forward for an award and to make the final in two different categories was a real “wow” moment for us. We weren’t even looking to enter to win an award, we just wanted the judges’ independent feedback on our business plan so we could improve our business model. To win again in 2018 was very humbling and confirmed to us that we have developed a truly successful business and training model. Read more
