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.
On Tuesday 7th September I attended a Refresher First Aid Course in Oamaru run by a young Dunedin Paramedic, who was a very energetic, focused and an informative presenter. I am the Chief First Aider in the office for St Kevin's College. I have attended six Refresher Courses over recent years and this is the best First Aid Course I have been involved in because of the professional and practical delivery and content. I have given him 5 stars. The course went to time and flowed well. Our tutor gave us some very practical tips, real life examples, alot of visual feedback particularly for CPR, choking, arm breaks followed by practice time. He also gave us word rhymes, CPR '30:2 no matter who'. Infant CPR 'Eyes to Sky'. He was black and white and when he spoke he did not use alot of medical jargon. Warm regards Sue McErlaneSue M
