Our Foundation First Aid Certificate (Workplace First Aid Course) is recommended for low-risk workplaces and designed for people who do not need to obtain the 6400 unit standard (Manage first aid in an emergency situation) which is covered in our New Zealand First Aid Certificate (Comprehensive First Aid Course). Please allow up to 4 hours to complete the per-course online learning.
It will give you skills, knowledge, and confidence when providing first aid. You will learn the same priorities and approach to patient care that Health Professionals use, and how to carry out that care until they arrive. These skills are learned and mastered while having fun along the way.
The Foundation First Aid Certificate (Workplace First Aid Training Course) starts at 9 am.
REQUIRED: Please supply your National Student Number (NSN). If you do not have this number, you can call NZQA @ 0800 697 296.
