Whether you’re part of a School, ECE or Kōhanga Reo, ensuring your staff is trained in First Aid is essential.

At Life Care, we recognise the importance of complying with New Zealand’s First Aid training regulations, which prioritise the safety and well-being of both children and staff.

Started in February 2024, new requirements from the Ministry of Education mandates that all ECE “persons responsible” must complete First Aid training from an NZQA-accredited provider. We’re thrilled to announce that Life Care holds NZQA Category 1 accreditation, ensuring your team receives top-quality training that meets these essential compliance standards.

Our comprehensive courses provide staff with the skills and knowledge to effectively handle emergency situations, reinforcing the importance of adequate First Aid readiness in educational environments. Our hands-on training emphasises real-life scenarios, enabling your team to gain confidence in their abilities to respond to emergencies, which is critical in ensuring a safe learning environment for children.

For larger educational institutions, we offer tailored on-site training, while smaller centers can benefit from our regular public courses at our offices and training centers. We’re dedicated to supporting your compliance journey, helping you stay ahead of the new requirements, and ensuring your team is prepared for any emergency. Prioritise safety today and empower your staff with the essential First Aid skills they need!

Testimonials

“The team actually really enjoyed their morning and they said Lynette was fantastic. She was very informative and great to work with, so thank you. You guys will definitely be on the top of our list 😊.”

Tania Savage at Waipa Plumbing

“Brooke and Lynette are lovely to work with, and great ambassadors of Life Care Consultants.  Course one went well today, and we do it again tomorrow with the other Gateway class. Many thanks from a very happy client.”

Rosie Swinkels at Mt Maunganui College

“Our staff found the Life Care first aid training to be enjoyable and thorough. The initial online work was a very effective way to begin the training. We appreciated the straight forward, practical delivery. Time passed quickly because we were learning a lot of information through activities that were engaging and interesting. The trainer was professional and friendly. He facilitated a very beneficial day for us all. Ultimately, we felt a lot more equipped to deal with first aid situations. We will definitely use Life Care again for future first aid training.”

Clifford Wicks at Otari School, Wellington

“The course was upbeat and relevant. All of my students walked out of the course feeling confident in their ability. They were not afraid to ask questions and … got some great credits too. I found it super easy to deal with Life Consultants as a busy teacher – all of the pre course information was easy to understand and run my students through. The facilitator was wonderful as well – very upbeat and made a relationship with every single student – was super cool to see!”

Charlie Harrison at Aquinas College Tauranga

“When you book a Health and Safety course for your Gateway students you are aiming for the students to connect with the tutor. You want them to feel they can ask questions and gain as much knowledge as possible because you want each and every one of them to be safe out in the workplace. Alan listened to my students and created a great learning environment , which I could tell by the way the students were working each time I popped in. [x 3 visits each day ] Thanks, I will rebook with this company because of you and the effort you made at Trident last week.”

Karen Benge at Trident High School Bay of Plenty

“Everything runs smoothly – from making the booking to the completion of the course and reporting of results – nothing is too much trouble and students enjoy the courses.”

Raewyn Moore at Massey High School, Auckland

“Great organisation – easy to enrol students. Course content was excellent and well delivered. I particularly appreciate the Health & Safety training combinations (packages) available for delivery in schools – this is a great option to have.’”

Sonya Fitzgerald at Villa Maria College, Christchurch
