Traditionally, the Emergency First Aid course is an 8-hour in-person training course. The Blended first aid training is a combination of online training with a practical in-class, face-to-face skills practice that provides both hands-on and online training, with reduced in-class time.

This course includes CPR Level C & AED.

Course Duration:

• Online Learning: 4 hours
• In-Class Teaching Time: 4-5 hours

This course is now recognized by WorkSafeBC as equivalent to Occupational First Aid Level 1.
