Do note that, as with all NZQA standards, credits earned from this course do not expire, however WorkSafe recommends the respective certifications require renewal to remain relevant. This can be adhered to via attending the refresher course within 2 years of completing a first aid level 1 course or, alternatively, repeating this course should the expiration date be exceeded.

To gain the certifications/credits offered, there is an assessment completed during the training session assessing participant knowledge against NZQA unit standards 6400, 6401 and 6402. Assessors must confirm the participants’ ability to demonstrate the correct incident response from a first aid context. The assessment is accounted for within the 8-hour face-to-face session.
