React Right Refresher — First Aid, CPR & AED Renewal

Keep your certification current. Half a day, no full re-cert.

The Refresher is for anyone with a current or recently-lapsed React Right (or equivalent first aid) certification. Half a day, skills review, scenarios, re-test. Walk in current, walk out certified for another two years.

Who this is for

• Active SSI instructors keeping certification current
• Workplace First Aiders
• Anyone with React Right, NZ First Aid, or equivalent in the last 3 years

What we cover

• Skills refresh: CPR, AED, choking, bleeding
• Updated protocols (changes since your last cert)
• Scenario-based assessment

What's included

• Half-day session at the Freedive Studio, Paihia
• Updated SSI React Right materials
• Certification renewal (valid 2 years)
• Light refreshments

Prerequisites

Existing First Aid certification (any recognised provider — St John, NZ Red Cross, workplace first aid, an existing React Right) within the last 24 months. If your certificate has expired by more than 24 months, you'll need the full React Right course instead — SSI standards require a fresh start after that point.

The Booking

A $100 non-refundable deposit secures your spot — this covers your SSI renewal materials. The remaining balance is due on the day. Full refund policy here.

Where & when

Freedive Studio, 30 Selwyn Road, Paihia. Scheduled regularly — often runs back-to-back with a full React Right course, so check both.

Who teaches it

Sacha Williamson — SSI Instructor Trainer, NZQA Unit Standard 4098 assessor.
