MediTrain provides a comprehensive range of First Aid training courses from Basic Life Support (CPR) to Workplace First Aid, Childcare First Aid to Advanced Training for Health Care Professionals. We also provide Pre-Hospital Emergency Care courses and on site incident/accident assessment, prevention & debriefing services.
Join us at our office in Green Island or at one of our many public courses around Otago, Central Otago and Southland. We also offer onsite courses, let us know where and when and we are more than happy to make it work.
We offer Comprehensive Workplace First Aid courses in 1 day class time instead of 2, as well as refresher courses in 4 hours of class time . This is more cost effective for employers and can help to limit the information overload.
Our wide range of courses and the diverse background of our instructors allows us the freedom to adapt our training scenarios to be as contextual as possible. This means we can tailor the material and generate group discussions in the hope that the information will stick with you.
If you have specific requirements - contact us to discuss tailoring a course to meet your needs.
We are also accredited with the New Zealand Dental Assoc "NZDA"
