“Real skills, not just a certificate.”
Standard First Aid with CPR/AED Level C is recognized by WorkSafeBC as equivalent to Intermediate First Aid (formerly OFA Level 2) under the updated CSA Z1210-17 standards introduced in July 2024. This means it meets workplace requirements for moderate to higher-risk environments in British Columbia and is also nationally recognized across Canada.
This course provides more comprehensive training, covering not only life-threatening emergencies but also injury management, medical conditions, and ongoing care until paramedics arrive.
Standard First Aid with CPR/AED Level C uses a blended learning format — online theory at your own pace, followed by in-person skills training.
After you register, we send you access to your Canadian Red Cross account. You complete the online portion on your own schedule before attending the in-class session. Learn more about blended first aid training.
| Course | Current Price |
