"alone we can do so little; together we can do so much"
Erika van Vuuren
Erika has been a qualified First Aid instructor since 2006.

​
Erika began her medical career as a student nurse in 1985 and has been a first aid instructor since 2005. Initially she was employed by a large corporate company from 2005 and held various roles and responsibilities within the company including being a first aider and participated in the yearly national first aid competitions.
​
She was also an instructor and delivered training in first aid, firefighting, security assessments, national key point assessments and other SHEQ short courses.
​
By the end of 2013 she stepped out of her comfort zone and accepted a new challenge with Global Geophysical Services (USA) on Crew 680 in Kenya as their certified instructor and journey manager.
​
During her time in Kenya, Erika gained valuable experience working in remote areas and developed a good understanding of how to deal with medical emergencies in difficult terrain.
​
On her return to South Africa in January 2015, Erika was appointed as an Associate Trainer for the Professional Bodyguard Association (UK) in South Africa having duly completed the BTEC Level 3 Education and Training (QCF), along with the specialty subject BTEC Level 2 First Person on Scene Intermediate (IHCD).
Since then she has advanced her clinical knowledge with the completion of the BTEC Level 4 First Person on Scene certificate and a couple of years later the BTEC Level 4 Extended First Person on Scene certificate.
Erika has a natural flair for teaching, and we have received some tremendous reviews regarding her commitment to the delivery of first class training courses anywhere in the world.
