Emergency First Aid (Blended)
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.

The blended Emergency First Aid course is not currently recognized as a WorkSafeBC Occupational First Aid Level 1 equivalent course.
COVID-19 Considerations
We kindly ask anyone 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.
