Standard First-Aid and CPR Level C

Did you know that nearly 60% of Canadians who have had to perform first aid did so to help a family member?

This comprehensive two-day course offers first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills for those who need training due to work requirements or who want more knowledge to respond to emergencies at home.

This course is considered equivalent to WorkSafeBC’s Occupational First Aid Level 1, is recognized by the Adult & Child Licensing Board, and includes the latest first aid and CPR Guidelines.

John Colley

Standard First-Aid

Surrey,  BC

"I have always done St. John Ambulance first aid training. This course was taught differently but was more effective due to m ore hands on training. I will definitely return to Alert First Aid for my re-certification. Thank You!!"

Rene Cyr

Standard First-Aid

"The instructor was entertaining and obviously experienced in the field of first aid. It is a lot of information in a short time, clearly presented, varied, physical and fun. Thank you for teaching today's course. I was a teacher so I know how difficult it is to keep people's attention for a long time. You did an excellent job."
