Onsite, same course price
Vaal workplaces get their first aid training on their own premises. Whether your site is in Vereeniging, Vanderbijlpark, Meyerton or Sasolburg, we drive down from Centurion with the equipment. You pay the course price our clients pay everywhere, and only the travel changes with distance. First Aid Level 1, 2 and 3 are all accredited by the Department of Employment and Labour and aligned to the QCTO curriculum. For Level 1, each person in a group of 4 to 9 costs R950 excl. VAT, plus travel, and bigger groups cost less per head.
The Vaal Towns We Cover
- Vereeniging and Meyerton
- Vanderbijlpark
- Sasolburg, across the Vaal River in the Free State
The Vaal is one of South Africa’s oldest industrial areas, with steel, chemicals, fuel and manufacturing around Vanderbijlpark, Vereeniging and Sasolburg. Its factories, workshops and transport yards mean more cuts, burns, crush injuries and chemical splashes than an office, which is why first aiders who have practised on the day matter here.
We have no venue in the Vaal. Your team trains on your own premises, and we bring the manikins, the AED trainers and the course material. Request a quote with your address, how many people need training and a preferred date.
First Aid in Vereeniging and Vanderbijlpark: What Matters Locally
Emfuleni, the municipality for Vereeniging and Vanderbijlpark, runs along the Vaal River with the N1 cutting through it. It describes itself as the heartland of the old Vaal Triangle, known for iron and steel. Meyerton falls under neighbouring Midvaal, and Sasolburg is only about 10 km south, across the river in the Free State.
Water is the local problem to plan around. A May 2026 report to the Gauteng government described Emfuleni’s supply as intermittent, with ageing pipes, electricity outages and about 70 percent of the water it buys lost or never billed. A new body, the Vaal Corporation Water Utility, was set up to take the service over. Cooling a burn or rinsing a chemical splash takes plenty of clean water, and it cannot wait for the supply to come back. Keep a stored supply next to the first aid box, and walk your first aiders to it on the training day.
Burns and poisoning are both on the First Aid Level 1 outline, alongside bleeding, fractures and the log roll. Where chemicals are handled on every shift, First Aid Level 2 adds anaphylaxis, seizures and more medical emergencies over 2 or 3 days.
If a worker is injured, the Department of Employment and Labour has two labour centres close by: Merriman Avenue in Vereeniging, and the Nashua Centre on Eric Louw Street in Vanderbijlpark.
What It Costs in the Vaal
- Groups of 4 to 9: R950 per person for First Aid Level 1, excl. VAT.
- Groups of 20 or more: R730 per person, excl. VAT.
- Fewer than 4 people: a flat rate for the group.
- Travel: R550 flat up to 100 km round trip, then R5.50 per km, excl. VAT, on your quote.
From our Centurion venue the travel comes to about R1,100 for Vereeniging (about 100 km away), about R1,200 for Vanderbijlpark (about 110 km) and about R1,350 for Sasolburg (about 120 km), excl. VAT, for the whole group. Each is about 70 to 85 minutes by road. Meyerton is about 85 km from our Centurion venue, roughly 65 minutes by road, so the travel there is about R950 excl. VAT for the whole group. For some Sasolburg jobs, accommodation is quoted as well. Your quote shows the exact amount for your address.
These are the same 2026 course prices we charge everywhere; every tier is in the prices section below. One or two people can instead join the Level 1 public class at our Centurion venue, 99 Hornbill Avenue, Rooihuiskraal, for R1,050 each, the final amount, from 8:30am to 4:30pm. Book a seat on the public class bookings page.
A Day of First Aid Training at Your Site
First Aid Level 1 is 1 day with self-study, or 2 days with theory in class. On the day your team signs the registers, works through the theory, and practises CPR and the AED on adult, child and infant manikins, then does a practical and a short theory assessment. Each delegate found competent receives a Certificate of Compliance, valid for 3 years, signed onsite when we have their ID copy beforehand.
For higher-risk sites such as a plant, a workshop or a site handling chemicals, First Aid Level 2 is worth considering: it runs over 2 or 3 days onsite, and First Aid Level 3 over 4 or 5 days. The General Safety Regulations (regulation 3(4)) ask for a trained first aider once a workplace has more than 10 employees; the calculator on the First Aid Level 1 page works out your number.
