Actions for Survival is committed to ensuring the certificate you receive is compliant with the New Zealand first aid training requirements. In order for this to happen, you will need to complete the whole of the assessment component of the course. This will take four hours in the classroom. If you are unable to complete this requirement we will be unable to issue a full first aid certificate.
Your assessment venue is pre-agreed and we will come to you wherever you are in New Zealand providing your facility meets the requirements to hold a first aid course. This includes:
Building Warrant of Fitness
Car Parking must be available for our tutor
A tv/whiteboard/projection wall for our presentation to be set up on
A room that can facilitate 21 people comfortably , enough floor space to complete CPR assessments
Good lighting
We would like to know if your venue provides Tea/Coffee for your guests
Yourself, a pen and some comfortable clothes. Remember some of the assessments will involve getting down onto the floor.
It is an NZRC requirement that CPR for an adult or child is done on a firm flat surface. It is highly unlikely that an adult or child is going to collapse on a table and require CPR. Effective CPR on an adult or a child is therefore demonstrated on the floor.
You will be given a second opportunity on the day of your course. If you are still unable to demonstrate competency you will be able to re-book onto another course. Depending on the circumstances this may be at an extra cost.
Yourself, a pen, some lunch, and please wear some comfortable clothing. You will be getting on the floor for example when undertaking CPR.

First Aid consists of knowledge and skills, both of which can be learnt by any able-bodied person, adult, teenager or child.
