The Association of Emergency Care Training Providers (AECTP) brings together organisations and professionals committed to raising the standard of First Aid training in New Zealand. By breaking down traditional competitive barriers, AECTP fosters a culture of collaboration, where members share knowledge, advocate for best practice, and shape the future of first aid education—together. As a member, you’ll be part of a collective voice driving positive change, ensuring consistency, quality, and accessibility in life-saving training across the country.

As a sole trader First Aid provider based in the isolated rural Far North AECTP is invaluable.

Through this professional association I am able to keep up with changes and trends in national and international First Aid standards. Our Conferences provide a platform for new and innovative tools I can use in everyday course delivery and widen my overall skill and knowledge.

It also means I get great updates and can ask the tricky questions in a supportive environment. Many of our presenters over the years have been world leaders in their specialist areas and inspiring educators.

AECTP IS Aotearoa’s top professional body in the First Aid domain and I know any prospective members won’t be disappointed.
