Do you already have your First Responder certification and want to become an Emergency Medical Responder?
This hands-on 40-hour First Responder to Emergency Medical Responder Bridging course will teach participants the knowledge and skills needed to provide appropriate patient assessments, interventions, and on-going care, including the transportation of a patient to a healthcare facility. This course follows the National Occupational Competency Profiles (NOCP) as defined by the Paramedic Association of Canada. Participants will be engaged in dynamic training techniques including video, media presentations, skills demonstrations, practice sessions, discussions and scenarios based on real-life situations.
Participants spend the majority of the course doing hands-on first-aid training. By practicing with scenarios, students gain confidence and learn to react and improvise in emergency situations.
