Why take a First Aid Course with us?
Powell River Town Centre Mall, Unit 55 - 7100 Alberni St, Powell River, BC V8A 5K9
Most cardiac arrests, strokes or severe choking emergencies happen at home, in public places and in workplaces. If you have ever witnessed one, chances are it will happen to a family member or someone you work with or care about. First aid training will benefit any company; not only are your staff better prepared to deal with any medical emergency that might arise on the job, but it also shows that you, as an employer, care about those who work for you.
Join our Red Cross First Aid training courses to learn life-saving skills in a safe, professional setting. Each of our talented instructors has planned learner-centred activities geared towards building each participant's confidence in recognizing and responding to an emergency.
