Your Canadian Red Cross certificate is awarded to you after completion of your Standard First Aid course, valid for 3 years and will indicate Canadian Red Cross Standard First Aid (SFA) with CPR level C (CPR level A available by special request). Canadian Red Cross certificates are generated and issued electronically through the national MyRC database, and provided by email within 10 business days of completion of all course and examination requirements 

Standard First Aid certification is officially recognized by WorkSafe BC for meeting and exceeding the content and skills of Level 1 Occupational First Aid certification.

Your Standard First Aid certificate fulfills WorkSafe BC's Level 1 Workplace First Aid attendant compliance regulations. Anywhere WorkSafe BC requires Level 1 First Aid certification, your Standard First Aid with CPR & AED is recognized by WorkSafe and your employer as a preferred qualification. WorkSafe BC's specific requirements for First Aid attendant training and certification will vary with each workplace, depending on work site hazard levels, number of workers on-site, access to emergency medical services, and travel time to the nearest hospital.

After completing a Canadian Red Cross Standard First Aid course, your certificate is nationally recognized for Worker's Compensation Board compliance in British Columbia and Alberta, as well as other Provinces across Canada.
