We come to you
Your Rustenburg team learns first aid without leaving the premises. We drive out from Centurion with the course, and you pay the same course fee as a Gauteng client, with only the travel added by the kilometre. First Aid Level 1, 2 and 3 are accredited by the Department of Employment and Labour and aligned to the QCTO curriculum. Each certificate stays valid for 3 years. For a Rustenburg group, First Aid Level 1 onsite starts at R730 per person for groups of 20 or more (R950 for 4 to 9), excl. VAT, plus travel.
How We Train in Rustenburg
We have no venue in Rustenburg, so the training comes to your premises: the manikins, the AED trainers and the course material travel with us. Your team trains where it will one day have to act, and nobody loses a day on the road. Our Rustenburg clients so far are schools and security companies.
Rustenburg’s economy runs on the platinum mines of the Bojanala district, and most of its other workplaces serve them: schools, security companies, workshops, transport, retail and hospitality. Those workplaces fall under the OHS Act, and that is who we train. Teams working on a mine itself fall under the Mine Health and Safety Act, so check with the mine which first aid training it accepts before booking.

First Aid in Rustenburg: What Matters Locally
Rustenburg’s own municipality calls it one of the fastest-growing cities in South Africa, because it is the centre of platinum production. Growth brings new workplaces: contractors, transport depots, shops and workshops. Each of them needs a trained first aider once it has more than 10 employees.
Heat is worth planning for. Under the Physical Agents Regulations, 2024, an employer whose people reach the legal limit for heat stress must give prompt first aid for heat illness and enough drinking water at the place of work. Heat emergencies fall under Environmental Emergencies on the First Aid Level 1 outline, so your first aiders learn to spot a person overheating and cool them down.
Most of the drive from our Centurion venue, about 90 km of it, is on the N4 toll route. Bakwena is building a second carriageway on the N4 near Marikana and Buffelspoort, and opened part of it in July 2026, so allow for roadworks when you choose a start time.
When someone is hurt at work, the Department of Employment and Labour’s Rustenburg Labour Centre, on the corner of Steen and Mandela roads, is the local office for injury on duty claims and inspections. The North West provincial office is in Mmabatho.
Fuel, Gas and Your First Aiders
Many Rustenburg workshops, transport yards and contractors keep flammable gas cylinders or fuel on site. The town’s Fire Brigade Services By-laws say that if a fire or accident involving hazardous substances on your premises injures someone, it must be reported to the fire service immediately. In that moment your first aider is busy with the injured person, so agree beforehand who makes the call. Burns and Poisoning are both on the First Aid Level 1 outline, and Basic Fire Fighting can run on another day at the same workplace.
Same Price, Travel by Distance
The course costs the same in Rustenburg as it does in Centurion or Johannesburg. What changes is the travel, charged by the distance of the round trip: R550 flat up to 100 km round trip, then R5.50 per km, excl. VAT. For a workplace in central Rustenburg, about 130 km from our Centurion venue (about 1 hour 40 minutes by road), that is about R1,450 excl. VAT for the whole group, on top of the course price. Some Rustenburg jobs also need accommodation, and then your quote shows it too. Your quote shows the exact amount for your address, and every course tier is in the prices section below and on our Course Prices 2026 page.
For one or two people, a seat in the First Aid Level 1 public class at our Centurion venue, 99 Hornbill Avenue, Rooihuiskraal, is R1,050, the final amount. The class runs from 8:30am to 4:30pm, and you book a seat on the public class bookings page.
Which First Aid Level?
- First Aid Level 1 (Basic Emergency First Aid Responder): 1 day with self-study, or 2 days with theory in class.
- First Aid Level 2 (Intermediate Emergency First Aid Responder): 2 or 3 days onsite, for higher-risk workplaces.
- First Aid Level 3 (Advanced Emergency First Aid Responder): 4 or 5 days onsite, or a public class in Centurion over two weekends.
A longer course onsite is worth planning early, so the dates suit your shifts.
Your Certificate
Each delegate found competent receives a Certificate of Compliance, valid for 3 years, signed onsite at the end of the training when we have their ID copy beforehand. The General Safety Regulations (regulation 3(4)) ask for a trained first aider once a workplace has more than 10 employees; DDi recommends at least 2 per site, so cover continues when one is on leave or off shift. The calculator on the First Aid Level 1 page works out your number.
Other Courses in Rustenburg
Basic Fire Fighting and Evacuation Warden also run onsite at your Rustenburg workplace, on separate days from first aid. SHE Rep Training, HIRA Training and Incident Investigation are available here onsite, or online from anywhere in South Africa. OHS Act Training, Legal Liability, Hazardous Chemical Substances, Supervisor Training (16.2) and Health & Safety for Managers run onsite for your group, or online if you would rather not pay for travel.
