Certification

If you hold a current, unexpired Standard First Aid or Intermediate First Aid certificate, you're eligible for this shorter, faster-paced recertification course. Please bring proof of your certificate to class. If it expires before your course date, you'll need to take the full Intermediate First Aid course instead. Once you pass, your new Canadian Red Cross Intermediate First Aid & CPR Level C certificate is emailed to you, and you can view it and your manual anytime in your MyRedCross account. It's recognized by WorkSafeBC as equivalent to Intermediate First Aid and is valid for 3 years.

Materials

Emergency First Aid & CPR Manual

The Standard First Aid & CPR Level C course includes the following materials:

  • Canadian Red Cross First Aid Course & CPR Manual (virtual)
  • Canadian Red Cross Comprehensive Guide to First Aid (virtual)

You MUST be currently certified in Standard First Aid to qualify for recertification. IF YOUR CERTIFICATE EXPIRES BEFORE THE COURSE DATE you will need to register for the full Standard First Aid course, and not the shorter recertification.
