Standard First Aid is the most common level of First Aid taken by Canadians for work and home. It covers what to do in case of an emergency, how to deal with soft-tissue injuries, breaks and sprains, head injuries, choking, medical emergencies, burns, and more. Level A CPR trains participants to rescue adult casualties.
NOTE: This course does not cover child or infant resuscitation.
This course will meet first aid requirements of most work places that do not normally serve children and babies.
Participants will receive a Student Reference guide that they may keep.
