anyone have theirs/taken it?

any idea on places that offer it and how long/how much does it cost?

[Vansterdam]

i got mine but probably should renew it by now, lol

[MarkyMark]

I don't know about level 1 but the people at my work do level 3 and its like a 2 week course if you do it fulltime, and it's good for 2 years. I think you can do it at places like st johns ambulance and others.

[murd0c]

basic level 1 is a 1day course that costs $100 or so. I got my OFA level 2 from Valley first aid in Langley. I have been to st johns before and I didn't like the clases.

[Vansterdam]

level 3 is paramedic is it not?

[johny]

level one is one day. easy, and pretty borring. how to put a bandaid on... or call 911 if they need anything more then that. I found it lame. but it was paid by work, and got the day off work, so can't complain.

[trip]

level 1 is simple, costs about $100 like said above . about 8 hr course.. which really is only like a few hours worth of shit u need to know

In Vancouver, I took the course offered by Trama Tec in Yaletown and renewed it a few times are Care on Commercial drive and 14th ave.

I've had my level 2 for almost 8 years now.

Level one is 8 hours and goes over vary basic first aid. If the work place has 50 employees or less, then level 1 is fine. Anymore than that, and you need level 2, is 5 days worth of classes and practical.
Level 3 is for people who work in the wilderness or is a paramedic. Level three you learn everything in level 2 and how to use a spine board and neck brace.

[Hondaracer]

nice, i thought it might be more expensive

[MarkyMark]

level 3 is paramedic is it not?

No, but you need level 3 to be eligible to take the paramedic courses.

[3seriesBeeM]

I did mine at ST. johns first aid by brentwood. you have to check out there schedule its an 8 hour course with like 45 mins of breaks and it cost $85.00 i think my work paid for it but thats how much i believe it was

[Psykopathik]

the L1 course is worth it for anyone IMO, it could help save your own family members life or even your own.


cant put a price on that.

Yes and no. Knowing CPR and basic first aid can save a life, but after a few years of not using/practicing it, a person tends to forget what they learned.
I'm the last guy they call for emergency's at work, and when it comes time to renewing my Level 2, I've forgotten quite a lot of it. And of course, every few years, they change some of the procedures. It is quite useful to renew the certificate every 2 years.

[Tegra_Devil]

st. johns is good...

i got my level 3 w/ cpr 'c' and aed protocol...

[jimzilla]

i did my st johns standard level 1 first aid thru the military. It was a good full day of boringness.

[Psykopathik]

ive been thru lv2 5 or 6 times now. i learn something new everytime.

[Hondaracer]

just for anyone looking to do first aid courses, i did my lvl 1 today at Valley first aid in langley, excellent course and excellent instructors, very good stuff even if u need to pay for it yourself, it was $85

[yameen]

is there an exam for lvl 1 or are the exams just for lvl 2 and above?

[Hondaracer]

there is for lvl 1 but its very easy

[scheng924]

lvl 1 is simple but i forgot everything lol
it's about 100 bucks and you can either do it at red cross or st johns ambulance

[aznrsx1979]

I remember taking classes for this 10+ years ago in jr and sr high. The tests weren't tough. It was spread out over a few days. The one nice thing was that it was paid for by the school.

Air goes in, air goes out.. blood goes round and round.. any variation of this is a bad thing.
