FIRST AID TRAINING RETURNING We hope that everyone is doing well and staying safe. We have missed all of our loyal clients and students and can't wait to see everyone again. That is why we are please to announce we will start offering a small selection of first aid classes again in July. The classes will be much smaller in size to allow for social distancing and there will be many protocols in place to help protect everyone. For example there will be a mannequin for each stud...ent and face masks will be worn by everyone. If you have a personal re-usable mask please bring it with you to class. If not, we will supply a disposable mask. There will be blended learning (online & classroom) and scheduled (classroom only) options available depending on your requirements. If you require a WSBC OFA Level 1 equivalent course you will need to take one of the following two courses: Emergency First Aid (FAC 020) Standard First Aid (FAC 021) If you DO NOT require WSBC certification you can take the blended learning courses which allow you to do all of the theory portion online and then attend class for the practical portion. You can register for one of the following courses: Emergency First Aid - Blended (FAC 080) Standard First Aid - Blended (FAC 081) We will gradually add more courses to the schedule on our web site. You can also email us for further information. www.nic.bc.ca/first-aid
