Comprehensive first aid and CPR techniques for those who need a higher level of training to work and respond to emergencies in isolated or wilderness settings. Training is also suitable for those who act as guides or supervisors for groups of people. The course covers material in Standard First Aid & CPR, plus advanced strategies for providing extended care for more than 24 hours. Part of the course is taught in an outdoor setting and requires greater physical activity and endurance than typical first aid training.
The course is taught by Swift Response, a Canadian Red Cross partner and is recognized by WSIB for workplace first aid requirements. By the end of it you'll receive a 3-year certification in Remote First Aid, CPR Level C, and AED from the Canadian Red Cross. Course fee includes book and certificate.
We'll be taught by experienced Canadian Red Cross certified instructions.
Duration
40 hours with 50% taught in a non-urban setting.
