First Aid Refreshers

The Department of Tourism compels tourist guides to have and maintain a valid accredited first aid certificate.

What does "accredited" mean? By law (the Occupational Health and Safety Act), first aid certificates are required to be accredited according to the latest legislation. Presently, first aid training providers need to be SETA accredited. Turtle Life Support has been accredited with the HWSETA since 2010. Please refer to the attached article why Dept. of Labour certificates are not recognised for compliance purposes.

Turtle Life Support has been a proud partner of the Institute of Professional Tourist Guides of Southern Africa for years.

Our courses are registered with the HWSETA presently.

By June 2024 we will be registered with and accredited by the QCTO, the new regulatory body for first aid training.

Based in Germiston, we offer first aid refresher and new certification training in Gauteng, Bloemfontein, Grahamstown, Maritzburg and Durban.

Please contact us ([email protected]) should you need to refresh your certification, or as a new tourist guide complete an accredited first aid course.

Certificates are valid for 3 years.
