Making First Aid Training More Accessible: MediTrain Launches New Manual

MediTrain is proud to announce the release of its new First Aid Manual, Edition 5, part of a wider commitment to making first aid training accessible, engaging and effective for all learners across New Zealand.

While a manual might not sound like front-page news, this release reflects something bigger. At MediTrain, we believe that first aid is too important to be treated as a box-ticking exercise. It should be practical, memorable, and inclusive. That’s why we’ve put real investment into ensuring our course materials, including the manual and our suite of training videos, are designed with all kinds of learners in mind.

Whether it’s a high school student doing their first course or a workplace refresher for someone with English as a second language, our goal is to make sure every learner leaves with skills they can recall and use in a real emergency.

The new manual features:

• A layout that matches the course flow for easier learning
• Step-by-step formatting with clear visual cues and practical examples
• Simplified language to support learners of all backgrounds
• Space to add course notes and emergency contact details

"We’ve always believed in the power of good teaching, and that includes good materials," says MediTrain owner Adrian Brown. "If you want people to remember what to do under pressure, you need to teach in a way that sticks. That means using video, props, real scenarios and course materials that are visually strong and easy to follow."
