First Aid Courses
Subsidised St John first aid and mental health first aid training for Wiri businesses.
Flexible, Lower-Cost First Aid Training
Wiri Business is pleased to announce changes to our first aid course offerings to ensure greater flexibility and a lower cost, while ensuring a quality training course is available to members.
We have partnered with St John and will be offering spaces on their public courses at a discounted price. This means staff no longer need to wait for a quarterly course – they can access training that’s closer to their homes and on a date that suits them.
