Course Overview

Full course delivered in 1 day

Available in 24 locations nationwide

Public or On-site training available

Every day, in every workplace, the potential for a first aid event looms.

When it does, time is of the essence and ensuring your staff know how to act and what to do, could save someone’s life. In just 4 hours, we’ll help you keep your skills, knowledge, and confidence up to date.

Even if your staff completed their original training somewhere else, we can provide the revalidation for you. This course can be run as part of a full day First Aid Training, making it ideal for workplaces that have staff needing the full training mixed with those that only need revalidation. Completing the Resource Pack beforehand can earn you NZQA unit standards 6401 and 6402.

Testimonials

“From a feedback perspective, the staff conducting the health checks were extremely professional and delightful. This was the first time health checks were being conducted by the business and we had some very nervous and apprehensive staff but the LifeCare team made them feel comfortable and I think they saw the value of such a service in the end.”

Sophie H at CT

“The team really appreciated the day and found it informative and interesting, the day went quickly, Tiffany kept the group well engaged and there were interesting discussions taking place.

One of my staff comes from working for the Cancer Society and has been on a number of these types of workshops, they mentioned this was by far the best they had been on.  The tangible information was so helpful… the physiology of mental health, the different types of mental health concerns and giving the staff tools to recognise it and to manage it for themselves as well as their colleagues”.

Denise Meulenbroeks at SF

“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”.
