Who are we?
Who are we?
Over the past 10 years, T8 First Response instructors have trained over 700 individuals from mums, dads and helpers to professionals from the aviation, education, medical, event, sporting and business sectors. We have also provided primary and secondary care services to DB Pirates, Valley RFC, Lantau Boat Club, iGym, sporting tours, sports festivals, Team Fear and more.
Our primary instructor, Steve Tait (ex British Forces) is an Emergency First Response, Rescue Diver and Emergency Planner. On occasion large courses are supplemented with the support of qualified intensive care and trauma nurses and paramedics who add their own experience to what is an educational, fund and challenging course.
Courses can be customised as required, though they do follow the key requirements and skills as set out by EFR.
All course participants receive a globally recognised qualification.

ABOUT US
Since 2008, our lead trainer, Steve Tait, has certified over 1,000 people—from parents and teens to coaches and individuals with disabilities. He’s delivered training across diverse industries including education, aviation, healthcare, sports, and hospitality.
​
In 2019, Steve joined forces with the Minerva Group to launch T8 First Response, combining top-tier training, management systems, and equipment to deliver industry-leading first aid courses and instructor programs.
​
As one of Hong Kong’s only accredited Emergency First Response (EFR) training centres, we’re the go-to provider for businesses and individuals who demand quality and reliability.
We offer expert-led first aid courses across Hong Kong, tailored for families, schools, and workplaces—because when every second counts, training matters.
OUR MISSION
We are on a mission to provide leading internationally recognised primary and secondary care training for individuals and businesses. Through a dedicated and detailed approach to our services, we empower and equip our students to manage and take control of any situation.
OUR VALUES
At T8 First Response, we don’t just teach first aid—we believe in it as a life-saving skill that everyone should be empowered to use. A more prepared world means fewer lives lost and less suffering from accidents and trauma.
​
> A belief that adequate care provided is better than perfect care withheld.
> A deep desire to create an inclusive and positive learning environment for people of all backgrounds.
​
We put these values into action by continuously investing in our instructors, team, and state of the art equipment. This commitment keeps us at the forefront of emergency response training and proudly aligned with the Emergency First Response (EFR) Network.
