Course Description

The Canadian Red Cross First Responder Course is a 40 hr course devoted to developing first aid skills for professional first responders.

Within this course, you will learn the basics of pre-hospital care, going much beyond the scope of a Standard First Aid course. This will include things such as applying oxygen, taking blood pressures, and backboarding. Not only will this course teach you the knowledge and skills required, but you will also have plenty of practice in scenarios; increasing your confidence in your ability to help preserve life!

This course requires approximately 8 hours of pre-reading and assignments.
