About Us

The Institute of Emergency First Aiders was established in 1987 by a
member of the emergency services who saw, on a daily basis, a real and
growing need for public education in emergency first aid procedures.
Since then IEFA has grown to offer, not only first aid training, but training in
fire prevention and fire fighting procedures, use of breathing apparatus,
hazardous materials awareness and training for health and safety
representatives. Our training courses enable companies and other
organization to comply with the legal requirements laid out in the
Occupational Health and Safety Act.


Our areas of service

We offer these first aid, fire and health and safety training courses to
individuals and groups primarily in the Johannesburg, Pretoria,
Witwatersrand areas and in the wider area of Gauteng, as well as further
afield in Mpumalanga, Limpopo, North West Province and KwaZulu Natal
(KZN). For first aid training courses required in other areas of South Africa
please contact us at information@iefa.co.za.

We run our first aid courses at our training centre in Primrose, Germiston
where there is ample safe parking, however, our first aid training may also
be conducted at your company premises for your convenience.
