Welcome to

Vital Life Training

Our courses are divided into two categories: Domestic and Emergency Care.

Domestic Courses

Our aim is to uplift and empower domestic workers and other childminders/caregivers, promoting the safety and development of young children and others in their care.

Training is offered to Domestic workers in three main courses. These are Child Care, Spring Cleaning and Cooking. Course participants can be enrolled by their employers or they can enrol themselves. These programs can assist those employed in private households, hotels, lodges, guest houses, gyms, schools, as well as many other establishments.

We also offer courses in Water Safety and Drown Prevention, and Basic Home Based
Care.

Courses and manuals are in both English and Zulu.

Emergency Care

Both our Level 1 and Level 2 First Aid courses are fully accredited. With these qualifications you can up-skill yourself, add value to your workplace, and meet South African Labour Law requirements. We also offer a short course in CPR and Choking. These courses are suitable for gym instructors, swimming teachers, coaches, schools, crèches and hospitality establishments, as well as parents and caregivers.

Vital Life Training also “trains away”. We can offer all of these courses at your own venue, even over multiple days.

"My nanny, Sindi, has just completed the cooking course. Not only has it added a new dimension to her job, it has changed my life dramatically. No more rushing home to scrape together a quick supper. Getting home to a wholesome home-cooked meal, with no dirty dishes to clean up, has made the life of this working mom so much easier."
