A comprehensive 80-hour first aid and CPR skills training for professional emergency medical responders.
The Canadian Red Cross EMR course provides comprehensive training in first aid and CPR for professional responders. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be certified as a CRC Emergency Medical Responder. The course focuses on a patient assessment model, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, hemorrhage control, and care for a variety of acute and chronic conditions. It also includes instruction on how to package and transport patients to hospital. The course is composed of hands-on practice, skills demonstrations, discussions, and simulated scenarios based on real-life situations.
To be certified, participants must attend and participate in 100% of the course, achieve a minimum of 75% on the closed-book written knowledge evaluation, and demonstrate proficiency in skills and practical scenarios.
Prerequisites for the course include Standard First Aid with CPR Level C certification, and a mandatory pre-course assignment of at least 20 hours.
This certification fulfills the requirements for applying for a Licensed Emergency Medical Responder in British Columbia. However, the process of obtaining a license is a separate step that must be completed through the Emergency Medical Assistants Licensing Board (EMALB). This will involve submitting a separate application, taking an online written exam, and passing a practical evaluation. This program is designed to help you prepare for the EMALB Licensing process. For more information about the EMA Licensing process, please visit this link..
Once you have gone through the steps to become a certified EMR, you can apply and complete a jurisprudence package that outlines the regulations for First Aid in BC workplaces. Upon successful completion, you will be granted a WorksafeBC OFA 3 certification at no cost. This will enable you to work as an occupational first aid attendant in remote, high risk workplaces.
