New Zealand Red Cross is part of the largest humanitarian organisation in the world, helping people wherever they might be - internationally or in our own communities.

Among the many essential services they provide are first aid and emergency management training. NZQA lists NZ Red Cross as a Category 1 training provider (highly confident).
