Foundation First Aid/ First Aid Revalidation Certificate for Individuals (Formerly First Responder/Refresher)

Foundation First Aid Certificate and Revalidation First Aid Certificate are courses that cover the same content (US 6402 – US6401) and are delivered with a mix of real-world scenarios. The main difference comes down to who the course is for and when your staff last trained.

Foundation First Aid is for people who are new to First Aid or whose previous First Aid Certificate has expired.

Revalidation First Aid is for people who have completed First Aid training within the last 2 years and want to refresh their knowledge and renew their NZQA certification.

Testimonials

“I wanted to pass on great feedback from the group regarding the first training on Saturday 20/7/24, Tiffany was very good, enthusiastic and kept the good-sized group engaged from start to finish”.

Catherine Rubery at Goodman Contractors Ltd

“Fantastic facilitator to credit to her delivery. She was engaging and the feedback from the participants was great!”

Kylie Norman at Inframax Construction

“I would, without any hesitation, recommend Life Care Consultants to any organisation or individual seeking First Aid skills. Their methods are innovative, up to date and their staff friendly and extremely easy going, capable of adapting to any learning style. They are all very well equipped to provide anyone with this essential life skill. Our staff love them”

Sanja Zubcic at City Parks Services

“The training was fantastic. The tutors were great and I got some really good positive feedback from the staff who said they really enjoyed it. Thank you so much.”

June Wright at ECO Maintenance

“The presenter related to all the staff excellently, many comments made on this by both field staff and managers. Course content was also very good and what we had asked for. Considering the short notice, the service was choice and much appreciated.”

Rachel Haapu at Fulton Hogan

“Yolandi, our tutor today was bloody awesome. A wealth of knowledge and damn easy to get along with, better than every St John/Red Cross course I have attended. Keep up the good work”

Paul Clarke at Security Technician

“The feedback from the staff plus one contractor was great. The content, pace and delivery of the info was great. The bonus was that the staff really enjoyed it and openly participated. For us getting a time to suit a larger group of staff can be challenging but with the trainer(Dawn) coming to our site makes the process a lot less complicated and easier to arrange.”

Chris Woodley at Firth Industries

“As you are aware I have been a qualified first aider since 1962 and have at various times completed training with all known training suppliers. I was very impressed when I attended the refresher course in Wellington as part of my evaluation of the training you had on offer. When you arranged to run a course for Council in-house, I was blown away. Staff members were absent from their workplace for half the time span of any other training consultants, they all raved about the quality of the course, the content of the course and the presentation which was first class. Please pass my thanks to all your staff who had anything to do with this presentation. They all deserve a pat on the back.”
