SchoolCare First Aid™
When Parents entrust their children to our care, we owe them the safest possible environment.
In schools there’s a legal requirement for a certain proportion of your workforce to be certificated in First Aid and CPR.
To that end, some very professional companies offer excellent courses, and for OSH/NZQA certificated requirements we strongly recommend those registered training providers.
However the high cost of such courses, and the two full days required per person, creates a temptation for schools to conform to the regulations at the minimum level.
And that means you can never be sure whether a certified First Aider will be on duty at all times.
In order to bring a level of First Aid skill to the widest possible range of people,
we developed A Practical Approach to SchoolCare First Aid as a complement to the legislated OSH-required courses (not as a replacement), to take into account;
- the need for affordability
- the shorter timeframe available to busy Teachers
- the need for greater convenience and accessibility
- the retention of Professional Standards, including CPR training by certified instructors on proper mannequins.
Encourage all of your staff to invest just 2 hours of their time with us to learn CPR.
And they’ll also learn how to cope with Burns, Falls, Breaks and Sprains, Allergic Reactions, Choking, Bleeding, Knocked-out Teeth …. and more.
A Practical Approach to SchoolCare First Aid™ is a short (2 hour) training course open to anyone involved in the school, to impart the basic skills and knowledge to cope with emergencies.
The investment is just $40 per head, including GST.
As long as you can get 8 people together we’ll come to you at a time that suits you.
And to cater for larger numbers we’re happy to deliver multiple courses, in a single day or spread over different days, to fit in with your needs.
