Health and Safety courses

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.

What you need to do

  1. Check your Welcome Email from EarnLearn | Te Pūkenga. This will tell you what courses you need to book.
  2. Find your chosen training provider from the listed providers below and click the link if given or call to book your course.
  3. If calling, make sure you tell them you are an EarnLearn apprentice. This means that EarnLearn is billed for your course.
  4. Make sure you enter your National Student Number (NSN)  correctly so your credits get loaded to your NZQA record.
  5. If you don’t attend a course you have booked, you will pay for the next one. 

First Aid

Plumbing, Gasfitting, Drainlaying, Roofing, and Scaffolding

Choose a First Aid Level 2 course with all three unit standards: 6401, 6402 and 6400. 

Electrical

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.

Please do the First Aid course within the first three months of your apprenticeship.
