About the Course:
The Advanced First Aid Canadian Red Cross course builds upon the knowledge and skills gained in the Intermediate (Standard) First Aid with CPR and AED training. Participants will learn how to conduct thorough patient assessments, provide interventions, and deliver ongoing care in a workplace environment. The training also covers different techniques for transporting an injured worker to a medical facility. You can choose to attend the course in Calgary, Red Deer, or arrange for our Mobile Training Unit to conduct the training at your preferred location.
This course aligns with the CSA Standard Z1210-17 for Workplace First Aid Training.
