My First Aid

My First Aid provides practical workplace first aid training in Waikato, New Zealand, led by facilitator Kim Timms. Kim brings more than 14 years of national first aid teaching experience, a background in general nursing, a current Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Certificate, and a New Zealand Resuscitation Council instructor’s certificate. Courses are tailored to the needs and risks of each workplace and can be delivered at a client’s workplace or another chosen venue.

Offerings include a 2-hour Basic Life Support course, 3–4-hour refresher and First Response courses, and a 6-hour full-day First Aid course for people new to training. Sessions cover CPR, choking response, defibrillator use, and medical emergencies involving adults, children, and babies. Full-day training includes practical scenario assessments, while Basic Life Support uses life-like manikins. On completion, participants receive a first aid wallet card and e-certificate. My First Aid also accommodates group bookings, with fees negotiable for larger groups. Its hands-on, work-focused approach aims to help staff build the skills and confidence to respond effectively in an emergency.
