Canadian Red Cross Society First Aid Courses are designed to help people ensure that workplaces are compliant with federal and provincial occupational health and safety legislation.
The training in first aid and CPR is usually mandatory as far as employees are concerned. The students of these programs not only satisfy job requirements but learn how to prevent as well as react to any emergency situation that they may face. The institution also offers refresher courses to help students upgrade their skills and learn the latest techniques used while performing first aid and CPR.
The programs offered are based on the principles of the International Red Cross Movement founder, Henry Dunant. The instructors are highly qualified and dedicated individuals. The instructors are certified Red Cross First Aid Instructors as well as Emergency Medical Responder Instructors who have the knack to customize the program to suit the needs of the students. The programs strictly adhere to international guidelines and the curriculum is reviewed and updated frequently to ensure the latest skills and techniques are taught.
The students get to practice what they learnt on mannequins and are provided with necessary training materials such as AED trainers, bandages, inhalers, first aid kits, splinting materials, etc. The programs are offered in flexible schedules to suit the needs of employers as well as the student employees.
