Emergency First Aid (Blended)
For the duration of the course, you will be expected to wear a mask that securely covers the nose, mouth, and chin.
Traditionally, the Emergency First Aid course is an 8-hour in-class training course. Blended first aid training is a combination of online training with a practical in-class, face-to-face skill session that provides the best of both hands-on and online training, with reduced in-class time. This course includes CPR Level C.

COVID-19 Considerations
We are operating with smaller-than-normal class sizes and will be maintaining physcial distance where possible. With first aid classes, this will not always be possible as we will need to practice and evaluate some hands-on skills. If you are not comfortable with this please consider signing up with a partner from your bubble, or not registering for this course. Facemasks, gloves and hand sanitizer will be available in all our classrooms.
We kindly ask anyone (participants and instructors) with symptoms of COVID-19 including fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat and painful swallowing to stay home and not attend the training session. Instead, please complete the BC COVID-19 Self-Assessment Tool, follow the recommendations given, and rebook your course for a later date.
During your course, wearing a mask that securely covers the nose, mouth, and chin is mandatory. You may bring your own, or one will be provided when you arrive. Thank you for keeping us and your classmates safe.
