The Red Cross Intermediate (formerly Standard) First Aid training program combines online theory learning (self-paced) with a hands-on, in-class practical skills session. Providing a fun and comprehensive Intermediate First Aid certification, including CPR and AED training, all while allowing flexibility with the online portion done at your own pace; essentially, you study theory online before attending a practical skills session to complete the course. This first aid course covers everything from life-threatening emergencies to minor bumps and scrapes and is recognized by Alberta OHS.

The date that you choose is the date of the in-class session.  The online modules must be completed PRIOR to attending the in-class session.  You will not be permitted to attend without completion of the online component, as it covers majority of the theory based knowledge required to complete the in-person session activities.
