Great training offered. Facilitator was very knowledgeable and could answer all our questions. She was also very friendly and engaging. What we appreciated is that you can always call them and ask questions even after the training is complete

I would recommend Family First Aid for any family ahead of welcoming in a new member, or for a refresher later down the line when children reach different ages. We were grateful to be trained by the owner who is a highly experienced paramedic and has made it his mission to teach about life-saving protocols. But more so to teach it in such a way that makes it simple and helps dissolve the fear around common emergency situations that you could be faced with. Thank you so much, team!

I had my close family and husband do the course and it was very informative! Jodie was the paramedic presenting the training and she was excellent. I did this as we are expecting and wanted everyone who would babysit our boy to know more. Would recommend this course to everyone!
Professional and trustworthy service. Our instructor was friendly and approachable. You could see that she loves what she does.

Family First – Professional, practical, and empowering

Reinette was incredibly professional and kind throughout the entire process. She made everything seamless.

The trainer was fantastic — knowledgeable, patient, fun and engaging. As a new dad, I felt more confident after the session, and so did my family and friends, including my parents in their 70s who were fully comfortable participating in the practicals.

The session was clear, hands-on, and empowering. Great value for money and highly recommended for anyone wanting to feel prepared to respond if something ever happens.

This kind of training brings peace of mind you didn’t realise you needed — until you have it.

Ivan was a pleasure to work with. The on-boarding and course was very professional. My children were not looking forward to the day but ended up really enjoying it (thank you Ivan!) and requesting more instruction. Very impressed with Family First Aid.

Amanda was friendly and kept all topics interesting and easy to follow and encouraged questions and practice. My son(13) and I really enjoyed the course and feel confident in what we learnt. The whole experience from booking the course and after was prompt and friendly.
We had so much fun throughout the theory and practical work. It was very informative, we learned a lot and feel prepared if there was ever an emergency situation. Thank you Family First Aid!

Family Courses

Workplace Courses (OHS Compliant)

OHS compliant training for businesses and organisations. South African law requires every workplace to have trained first aiders on site (Occupational Health and Safety Act, Section 8). These courses meet that requirement and are recognised by the Department of Employment and Labour.
All workplace courses include a certificate on successful completion.

Not Sure Which Course You Need?

For Families, Parents and Nannies

Start with our Basic First Aid and CPR Course. It covers everything from baby CPR to adult emergencies in 3 hours. If you only want to focus on infants, try the Baby CPR and Choking Course.

For Workplaces and Businesses

You’ll need at least First Aid Level 1 for your designated first aiders. If you’re not sure which level or what other health and safety courses you need, get in touch and we’ll help you work it out.
