Auckland's First Aid Training Specialists Since 1993

MediTrain has been training Aucklanders in first aid for more than three decades. From our head office at 21 Church Street, Onehunga, our Auckland team of 12, made up of six trainers and six support staff, runs courses at venues across the city and delivers onsite training for Auckland workplaces, schools and early childhood centres.

The team is led by our General Manager, Adrian Brown, and supported by Admin Manager Fua Togafiti. Together they handle enquiries, coordinate bookings across the region and manage first aid supplies. Many of our instructors come from paramedic, nursing or healthcare backgrounds, and every one of them is focused on the same thing: training that sticks when it matters.

Whether you need a first aid certificate for work, a refresher before your current one expires, or training tailored to your industry, we'll make it straightforward. Call us on 09 636 1377 or book online below.

What Aucklanders Say About Training With Us

“Our team unanimously agreed that this was the best first aid course they have ever completed. They particularly enjoyed the delivery style and the quality of information provided. We look forward to engaging with MediTrain again in two years’ time.”

— Services Manager, JAE

“I thoroughly enjoyed the First Aid refresher course I attended yesterday with Victor at Botany. While the feedback form has limited space, I must say this was hands-down the best course I’ve taken. Victor’s engaging and humorous style captivated the class, and his expertise is second to none. I left feeling far more confident in my skills and knowledge. Keep him on!”

— Rebecca

“I want to extend my gratitude for such a warm welcome upon our arrival. Kane was an excellent instructor who covered all necessary material in a comprehensible manner. This has been my best first aid training experience in my 12 years of teaching.”

— Michelle

“This course is professionally run, at a pace suitable for a variety of people to be able to follow and learn. Sandra is very good at keeping up with the latest information and good at passing on her knowledge and making sure everyone is understanding the information and can undertake the practical side. I always feel I leave the training confident in my knowledge and understanding of first aid.”

— Bev

“I recently completed a MediTrain first aid course and highly recommend it. As a former ski patroller in Canada, I felt my first aid skills and confidence had faded over time. The course was an excellent refresher, and Phillipa delivered it in a way that was clear, engaging, and accessible for all experience levels. You never know when you’ll face an emergency, so it’s well worth investing the time to be prepared.”

— Katrina

“Best first aid course I have experienced so far, as the tutor conveyed practical hands-on knowledge in a dynamic way. Because it was shared with passion and colour I did pick up more than usual.”

— Sabrina

“MediTrain are a fantastic company to do first aid and retrain with. They are accommodating, came to our premises, the trainer was personable, knowledgeable, easy to deal with. 10/10 recommend this company. We have used them prior and will continue to do so when the next refresh comes up.”

— Bluegrass Support

“Highly recommend this place for workplace training. They came to our site to train, the process from start to finish was simple and the communication from the team was top notch. Many thanks and will be using your services again when needed.”

— Raymond

“We recently completed first aid training with MediTrain and had a fantastic experience. Our tutor kept everyone engaged and motivated throughout the day, and the hands-on practical sessions were excellent. There was plenty of equipment available for everyone to practise, which made the training enjoyable and worthwhile. We would highly recommend MediTrain!”
