Practical First Aid Training
We offer life-saving first aid skills to communities across Vanuatu, giving everyday people the skills and confidence to react in an emergency and potentially save a life.
Given the scale of recent natural disasters, the first response can minimise the severity of injuries, benefit recovery and even save the life of someone close to you.
Vanuatu Red Cross offers three course types: First Aid Refresher, Basic & Comprehensive First Aid Training. Prices start from VT6,000 per person and group bookings are welcome.
- Learn practical skills for a range of situations
- Receive a First Aid Certificate (valid for 2 years)
- Training is available in Bislama or English
- All skills are assessed practically - no reading/writing skills required
- Workshops are tailored to the Vanuatu context, and are based on the latest guidelines from the Australia and NZ Resuscitation Council, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation, and IFRC First Aid Resuscitation guidelines.
- Funds raised through our First Aid Workshops assist VRCS to continue to support the most vulnerable people in Vanuatu.
