First Training First Training was established in 1997 to meet a growing demand for training and qualifications from people involved in outdoor employment, education and recreation. This service has now expanded to include standard first aid training and shorter courses, so that workplaces and community groups can meet health and safety requirements.
First Training\'s team of skilled facilitators are all experienced outdoor leaders and trainers. They possess a wealth of knowledge and experience gained over many years in outdoor instruction and guiding and have connections with the NZ Outdoor Instructors Association and Surf Life Saving NZ. They bring learning alive by being able to apply real experience to theory. |
