Civil Defence / Rescue Training
New Zealand is a country at constant risk of civil emergencies. Recent earthquakes in Christchurch, Japan, Samoa and Indonesia highlight the need for all New Zealanders to prepare ourselves to deal with these events.
We deliver civil defence / rescue training throughout New Zealand and have for a number of years been contracted at a national level as General Rescue trainers and assessors by the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management. With 14 years experience in training people in Civil Defence we are New Zealands most experienced private training providers in this area.
Our training packages provides both theoretical and practical training, enabling course participants to develop the skills required to become effective members of a light rescue team for civil defence purposes and workplace emergencies. Our content includes important information about preparing ourselves for tsunamis that may follow an earthquake.
Government agencies, emergency services, councils and lifelines groups are required under the Civil Defence Emergency Management Act 2002 to ensure that they are able to function to the fullest possible extent, even though this may be at a reduced level, during and after an emergency. For all other business it makes good sense to prepare for emergencies. Look after the most valuable assets your business has... your people.

Testimonials
- I wanted to say a big thank you for the opportunity to attend the training. I found it so valuable and learnt a lot. I was in ChCh on Feb 22nd with my team in our building in the CBD (which had to then get the big red sticker and is not usable) so this course felt very relevant to what I saw and experienced. It would have been good to have done it prior to that experience! But now I feel more empowered about what I could do. It was great meeting some of your staff to, great bunch of people! And fab lunch, thanks! Sharyn and Paul were great too, brilliant teachers. Kind regards HT July 2011.
- Well a few of us have now been transferred to Wellington to work just in case Christchurch gets worse... The shocks seem to be lessening which is a nice feeling. Yesterday's shock just before 8 was probably the worst and we were all sitting under our desks still on the phones. I think it has really helped actually being able to relate to the customers though. I hope you are both doing well and know that you have trained us well! CA September 2010 Following 7.1 Christchurch Earthquake
