First Aid First Ltd started off in 2008 as a small family-run business, providing concise First Aid courses to specific groups across Auckland.

 

It has expanded, through demand, to provide different courses to suit specific needs, from parents and families to schools, community organisations and workplaces wishing to upskill all their employees without the huge time and cost commitments of longer first aid courses.

 

Sarah says..."It was having children which made me realise how little information is out there, on the practical medical side of caring for a family."Sarah is a former ambulance paramedic and first aid instructor, and with a partner who is also a paramedic.

 

I revalidate annually with the NZ Resuscitation Council to ensure that I'm totally up-to-date with the latest information and techniques.

Recommendations from previous participants:"Thanks so much for coming to us - my staff have all commented on your session as being the most useful they have ever had - so thanks so much for making it easy and understandable for us." Sue, After School Care

 

"Thanks heaps for all of the great tips you gave us. It was definitely the best first aid course I've been too with lots of practical advice, so thank you! I was expecting to come and learn about CPR and choking, but the course was so much more comprehensive which was awesome; fingers and toes crossed we never need to use the majority of it!" Melissa

 

"Thank you again for the great course - everyone got a lot out of it and found it easy to understand and an easy atmosphere to ask questions." Mark

 

"Just a note to say thank you for an excellent first aid course last night. My Dad and I learned a lot. The booklet is great to refer to as well. I feel much more prepared!" Victoria

 

"I have done many first aid courses, but the one I took last year at ANCAD was the absolute best, most practical and enjoyable one I’ve ever attended." Hannah
