Emergency First Aid for Childcare

Did you know that Canadians who have taken a course in the past three years are more than twice as likely to feel confident administering CPR?

This basic one-day course teaches lifesaving first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills for the workplace or home.

This course is considered equivalent to WorkSafeBC’s Occupational First Aid Level 1, is recognized by the BC Provincial Community Care Facilities Branch, meets Child Care Licensing requirements, and includes the latest first aid and CPR Guidelines.

Just like all first aid courses at Alert First-Aid, our goal is to give you the most enjoyable first aid training experience. All of our regular first aid instructors go through a rigorous training process that far exceeds regular first aid instructor training standards.
