Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a first aid course take?
Most courses range from two hours to one full day, depending on the certification level and unit standards covered.
Do I receive a certificate?
Yes. All learners receive a certificate of completion for every course. However, only learners who opted for NZQA unit standards within eligible courses will have these awarded and displayed on their certificate.
Can businesses book private first aid training?
Yes. We deliver on-site workplace training across Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty. The minimum for an on-site course is 10 learners. If it’s less than 10, we recommend booking a public course.
How long is my first aid certificate valid for and when should I renew it?
First aid certificates are valid and renewed every two years, although some workplaces opt for more frequent revalidations due to their high-risk environments.
Will there be breaks and food provided during the first aid course?
There will be three breaks during full-day training: morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea. Morning tea includes fruit and biscuits; however, lunch is not provided. We recommend learners either bring their own lunch or research nearby food options in advance so they can easily purchase something during the break.
At our Tauranga venue, there is a kitchen with access to a microwave for learners to use. During the lunch break, many participants enjoy a short walk to the Tauranga harbour and promenade, which is just a five-minute walk from the office, with a range of nearby cafés and food options available.
What happens if my first aid certificate expires?
Most providers offer a three-month grace period from the date of expiry date, allowing learners to complete a Revalidation course in line with NZQA guidelines. If more than three months have passed, learners will generally need to complete the full initial course again.
How often are public courses run in Tauranga?
Public courses run twice a week at our Spring Street venue. View current course dates online to find a session that suits you.
