The Intermediate First Aid course aligns with CSA Z1210-17, meets the Canada Labour Code and ILCOR standards, and is recognized by WorkSafeBC. This course also meets the BC Ministry of Health’s licensing regulations for residential care and childcare facilities.

Consider this scenario: You’re in a busy warehouse, and an accident occurs. With the skills you gain from this course, you’ll know how to manage severe bleeding, perform CPR on adults, and handle multiple casualties simultaneously. You’ll also learn to recognize and manage a wide range of medical conditions, making you a vital asset in any workplace.

Successful completion requires 100% attendance, demonstrations of critical skills and a 70% pass mark on the written exam. Please note these courses are physically demanding and will require prolonged kneeling, working in stooped positions, and rolling patients. Each class participant is required to function as attendant, helper and patient. Depending on the level and length of the course, these physical demands can become rigorous. Participants will be required to demonstrate specific skills according to an accepted standard before certification is issued.
