First Aid training in Tofino will resume in June with Covid-19 safety procedures in place.
It’s time to recertify, but you don’t have to rush just yet, please note:
- All Red Cross first aid certifications which would have expired March 1st through June 30, 2020 will be considered valid 90-days beyond their expiry date.
- WorkSafeBC – Any OFA and equivalent certificates due to expire between March 1st, 2020 to June 30th, 2020 are valid 90 days beyond their original expiry date.
New Covid-19 protocal for first aid classes means class sizes will be kept much smaller to allow for physical distancing. Courses might fill up fast as a result. Please see the Covid-19 protocal for students and you can find the available first aid courses below.
All participants must abide by the following safety measures:
- Stay home if you have symptoms of illness before class. (In this case we will provide a credit for a future course, the credit will not expire).
- You will need to wear a face mask to enter the classroom and complete training (if you don’t have one please get in touch, we have options you can purchase).
- Maintain physical distancing of 2m from others whenever possible and wear as mask when not.
- Follow handwashing protocols (wash hands at the beginning and end of class, before and after meals and snacks, before and after skill practice sessions).
