First Aid Training
We teach basic life support and First Aid techniques that focus on preserving life and minimising serious injury by maintaining circulation, stemming blood flow and immobilising broken bones and soft tissue injuries. Besides saving lives, First-Aid treatment is important in preventing further complications from injury and pain, and in promoting recovery.
PRS offers a range of NZQA accredited first aid training sessions.
Workplaces have differing risks of injury and illness because of the sort of work they do.
Our on-demand training sessions can be tailored to suit injuries & emergencies common to your environment.
We also provide specific child & infant First Aid workshops aimed at those who look after little people. You can join one of our community training sessions or we can come to you, either way you will be equipped with the knowledge & skills to be a competent first responder in an emergency situation.
NZQA assessment against unit standards is available in our Foundation New Zealand First Aid courses. Please advise us if you require unit standard assessment at the time of your enquiry.
