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

Hi all. We are open and teaching again in Level 2. Remember to support your local businesses during this time. The Workplace First Aid Training Team are looking forward to seeing you all again. www.wpfirstaid.co.nz
COVID-19 Training update - Level 2
Our Clients safety and well-being continues to be our first priority as we move into Level 2 and returning to offering our Public Courses with reduced numbers and revised temporary protocol.
** These are our new temporary ways of teaching and assessing our courses to keep our Instructors and Clients safe during Level 2 **
At the start of the day the role call is completed by the instructor who then ticks off everyone at the course as attended. No Clients to use the laptop only the instructor. If they can see information is missing the instructor should find that person prior to the course starting and the instructor fills in the missing information.
Advise everyone on the course about personal space during the day (Recommended 1 meter apart) and to wash and dry their hands regularly during the day and they must wash their hands prior and after using our manikins. This helps helps ensure a safe clean environment for all at the course.
Gloves will be available for use during practical learning and assessments.
Instructors to put aside a baby, child and adult manikin that only they will use during the day.
Chest compressions still must be performed. (gloves available for this).
DRSABCD is to be performed on manikins.
Stable side is to be performed on themselves.
AED trainer is to only be used by the instructor.
Bandaging is to be performed on themselves.
Sling is to be just self swing sling. We recommend Clients bring their own long sleeved top/ thermal for this.
Assessment:
Wash and dry hands.
Normal assessment for 6402 just simulated breaths.
Wash and Dry hands.
Please note for 6401 and 6400 assessment no swapping of cards and they mark their own form off. (Again this is just temporarily)
6401 just the same as now but more distance between people. (Verbal assessment)
6400 will be assessed using manikins during this time.
The Instructor is to staple the forms together.
Manikins are to be wiped down with disinfectant wipes after each course.
We are also reducing the amount of people who can attend our public courses to help achieve the space required for each person.
*** Please note during Level 2 we are unable to use the kitchen facilities at our venues. Clients are welcome to bring along their own drink bottle/ hot drink but we ask you to remember to remove this at the end of the day ***
If you still have questions regarding this, require assistance to make bookings or reschedule bookings please don’t hesitate to contact us.
