Choose a provider from the list below and read their booking instructions (dates, venues, prerequisites, PPE).
Use the provider’s online link. If there isn’t one, call to secure your spot and confirm any ID or equipment to bring.
When booking by phone, state clearly that you are an EarnLearn apprentice. This ensures the provider bills EarnLearn (within the funding window).
Type your National Student Number (NSN) exactly right so your credits are loaded to NZQA.

First Aid training builds the skills to respond safely and effectively in an emergency and is required for multiple EarnLearn pathways. We recommend completing First Aid before Height Safety & Confined Spaces. You will need to book a First Aid course with one of our approved providers below.
Required for: Plumbing, Gasfitting & Drainlaying, Electrical, and Scaffolding (Level 4 Apprenticeship only). We recommend completing First Aid before Height Safety and Confined Space courses.
• Electrical: 6401 & 6402 (Essential / Level 1 depending on provider).
• Plumbing, Gasfitting & Drainlaying: 6400, 6401 & 6402 (Comprehensive / Level 2 depending on provider).
• Scaffolding (Level 4 Apprenticeship only): 6400, 6401 & 6402.
If your current First Aid certificate’s unit standards are listed on your NZQA Record of Learning, you do not need to repeat the course. If you hold 6401 and 6402 only and your programme also requires 6400, talk to the provider about how to bridge 6400.
Certificates are typically valid for 2 years. After 2 years you should attend a refresher, subject to your employer’s requirements. If your certificate is no longer current (older than 2 years), you’ll need to complete the full course again.
Please book within the first three months of your apprenticeship. We recommend completing First Aid before Height Safety and Confined Space training.
