Marine Advanced First Aid and CPR Level C

Did you know although the majority believe they are obligated to perform CPR on someone in need, more Canadians are concerned about their skills and legal ramifications, than they are confident in their ability to administer CPR?

This comprehensive 31-hour course covers first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills for those who need a higher level of training in the marine/fishing industry. This course trains people how to react and improvise in a marine setting.

Designed for any person who wants to obtain a Master's or Officer's certificate or endorsement, or those providing first-aid on board a vessel engaged on a coastal voyage, class 1, or unlimited voyage.

This course meets the requirements of Transport Canada outlined in Transport Publication (TP) 13008.
