Emergency First Aid for Community Care

Did you know that 70% of heart attacks occur at home? This means that CPR training is most likely to help loved ones at home.

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 Adult & Child Licensing Board, and includes the latest first aid and CPR Guidelines.

As with all Alert First-Aid's courses, we strive to give you the most enjoyable first aid training experience possible. All of our first aid instructors go through rigorous training that far exceeds regular first aid instructor training standards.
