Tertiary training
We provide access to courses delivered to whānau, where whānau are. Our model of delivery is designed to work with the needs of communities to permit access to education without barriers.
We deliver courses nationwide in partnership with Pro+Med using a mixed online/in person model designed to suit the needs of learners.
All these courses are designed to help pathway whānau into health careers and further educational study.

These are delivered in a mixed model of online and block course. Usually block courses are held in Wellington, however we do not wish for access to be a barrier to education so will work with whānau to find alternative arrangements to suit needs where required.
Additional programmes:

Offerings through out the year, delivered in partnership with Pro+Med. Designed to begin training pathways into healthcare and or emergency service work and to improve community response and resilience.

Equivalent to the first 18 months of the BHSc paramedic degree, so easy for people to get recognition into the degree.
First Aid/CPR training
We can provide both First Aid and CPR training through our partnership with Pro+Med, but in addition to this – we provide a 'train the trainer' project to empower iwi and organisations to be skilled in maintaining and training these skills to ensure community resilience.
Clinical support
We have provided clinical support in the form of qualified paramedics where required for specific projects or need in partnership with iwi and Māori organisations. We have supported mobile clinics, community based assessment centres during Covid-19, large iwi celebrations and events through partnership with Pro+Med.
We can help to arrange this if required to empower others to have this capacity themselves.
We are currently working on the establishment and delivery of mobile clinics to improve health access and delivery for remote, rural and vulnerable communities throughout Aotearoa through the Te Toka Ora project.
