Sport Canterbury and Workplace First Aid Training established a partnership in late 2020. Since then, we have been delivering first aid courses to schools, sports clubs and other organisations in the region. The aim of our partnership is to ensure that more people are first aid trained as it’s a valuable life skill to have.
Workplace First Aid Training Ltd is a New Zealand Qualifications Authority accredited Private Training Establishment (PTE). Our first aid courses are customised for our clients to ensure individual needs are met. We provide quality, affordable and enjoyable courses that give participants the skills, knowledge and confidence to deliver emergency first aid.
We have a team of 5 based in Canterbury – Regional Manager, Administrator and 3 Instructors. Our public courses are held at Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub in Christchurch where plenty of free car parking is available. We can have up to 20 participants on a course, which makes for a great group dynamic.
We offer a range of course types including Comprehensive, Workplace, Recertification and Provide Basic Emergency Care. Our one-day Comprehensive course covers Unit standards 6400, 6401 & 6402.
It is important to Workplace First Aid to support the local community. For this reason, proceeds from all first aid courses that take place in the Canterbury West Coast region are invested into up-and-coming young athletes through the Canterbury Sports Foundation.
Sport Canterbury and Workplace First Aid Training are committed to supporting regional athletes and guide them into a national high-performance pathway, via a tailored support programme, that include assistance with travel, equipment costs and coaching and development. With our assistance, these young athletes from a variety of disciplines have access to opportunities overseas as they pursue their sporting dreams.
Please refer to https://www.csda.co.nz for examples of the inspirational things that these young athletes have achieved.
