FAQs

Answers to questions we hear most often.

How long does training take?

Most workplace courses run from half a day to a full day in class, plus online self-study you complete beforehand. Refresher and CPR courses are shorter, around 4.5 hours.

Do I need prior experience?

No. Our courses suit complete beginners as well as people renewing an existing certificate.

Are your courses nationally recognised?

Yes. MediTrain courses are NZQA-approved and aligned with unit standards 6400, 6401, and 6402, and are WorkSafe NZ compliant for workplace first aid.

Can you train our whole team?

Yes. For groups of eight or more we can deliver training at your workplace, school, or childcare centre, with optional customisation.

How soon do I get my certificate?

Certificates are issued once you have completed both the online module and the in-class assessment. Most people receive theirs within a few working days.

How long is my certificate valid?

Workplace first aid certificates are valid for two years. We recommend booking a refresher before yours expires so your cover is continuous.
