Intermediate/Standard First Aid Recertification
A shorter recertification course for those who already have a current/valid Standard First Aid certificate. This course is recognized as equivalent to the WorkSafeBC Intermediate First Aid.
Course Description - Standard First Aid Recertification
This Canadian Red Cross Standard First Aid & CPR Level C Recertification course is a short, hands-on recertification course for those who already hold a current/valid Standard First Aid & CPR Level C certificate. This recertification course provides the skills needed to recognize and respond to everything from minor injuries to life-threatening emergencies.
At our core, we believe in hands-on learning, with the majority of the course dedicated to practical first-aid skills and immersive scenarios. Cultivate confidence and muscle memory through realistic practice, ensuring you're well-equipped to lead in emergencies.
If you are not certified in Standard First Aid or your certificate will expire before the course date you are looking for, then you won't qualify for this version of the course. Please look at one of the two following options instead:
- Standard First Aid & CPR Level C (Blended) - half online, half in person
- Standard First Aid & CPR Level C - fully in person
Be prepared to show proof of certification at your recertification course.
