Part of your apprenticeship with EarnLearn | Te Pūkenga includes booking specialist courses through external training providers. This course cost is covered by EarnLearn if it is booked within the first three months after you sign up to the apprenticeship. However, if you are needing to re-sit these courses due to non-completion, failure, or non-attendance, or you need to complete a refresher course, you will need to pay for this yourself.
Choose a First Aid Level 2 course with all three unit standards: 6401, 6402 and 6400.
Choose a First Aid Level 1 course with just two units 6401 and 6402.
If you do not hold a first aid certificate, or you hold one but it is expired, you must complete a First Aid course.
If you have a current first aid certificate and the units are listed on your NZQA Record of Learning you are not required to do this course, but it is a great opportunity for you to update your first aid knowledge. In this event, your employer will decide if they want you to do the First Aid course or not.
We recommend the apprentices complete the First Aid training before doing the Height Safety and Confined Spaces courses.
