How long is a first aid certificate valid?

A First Aid Level 1, 2 or 3 certificate is valid for 3 years. After that your first aiders redo the course to stay certified, so plan the refresher before the expiry date.

Is DDi's first aid training accredited?

Yes. First Aid Level 1, 2 and 3 are accredited by the Department of Employment and Labour and aligned to the QCTO curriculum, so the certificates count for your workplace first aiders. The short Family and Childcare First Aid and CPR course is not accredited: it is for families and carers, not for workplace compliance.

Can you train onsite at our workplace?

Yes. We bring the trainer, manikins and equipment to your workplace anywhere in Gauteng and further afield. Onsite First Aid Level 1 starts at R730 per person for groups of 20 or more (R950 for 4 to 9), excl. VAT, plus travel.

How many days is a first aid course?

First Aid Level 1 takes 1 day with self-study beforehand, or 2 days with the theory taught in class. Level 2 takes 2 or 3 days and Level 3 takes 4 or 5 days. The Family and Childcare First Aid and CPR course takes 2 to 3 hours.

Can I book a first aid course as an individual?

Yes. Book a seat in a public First Aid Level 1 class at our Centurion venue for R1,050 per person, the final amount. Level 3 also runs as a public class over two weekends. Level 2 runs onsite for groups.

First Aid Courses: Level 1, 2 and 3

Q: Which first aid course do I need?

Most workplaces need First Aid Level 1 for their appointed first aiders. Your risk assessment decides whether you need more: a workplace with machinery, chemicals or work at height usually needs Level 2, and high-risk sites such as mines, plants and construction need Level 3. If you are not sure, tell us what your workplace does and we'll recommend a level.

Which first aid course do I need?

Start with the people you need to cover. Appointed first aiders at work need an accredited level; the higher levels are for workplaces where injuries are likely to be serious. Families and carers who want to know what to do in an emergency at home need the short course.

“DDi provided practical and informative training to our OHS representatives and First aiders. The presenters are professional and knowledgeable. The customer relations contact did a great job providing the necessary information, taking care of administration and logistical arrangements. We will most certainly make use of their services again to train our staff in the OHS environment.”
Dion Botha

Highly recommended! The basic first aid and fire fighting training sessions were engaging, practical, and highly informative. Our facilitator’s extensive knowledge and real-world experience made the safety concepts easy to understand. We had so much fun while learning!
