FAQs

Gladstone

Why has CQ First Aid & Safety changed names to Real Response?

In October 2021 the founders of CQ First Aid and Safety, Paul and Kim Van Meteren, decided that the time had come to sell their business to Real Response.  This was a very exciting change for CQFA as it has opened up a lot of doors for everyone involved. Pre-existing clients of CQFA now have the option to use one consistent training provider all round the country. Thanks to this change, CQFA can now offer a range of services that they weren’t able to offer previously like mental health training and virtual reality development.

Is anything going to be changing now that CQ First Aid is part of Real Response?

Most things will be staying the same. Most of the CQFA team has stayed on and you can still expect the same friendly service you’ve become accustomed to receiving. The quality of the courses is still the number one priority and learners can still always expect to receive engaging, relevant and realistic training.

There are a couple of minor changes with regards to the length of some courses along with certain courses now requiring some online pre-course work. Please make sure to double check these details before booking in training.
