Looking for standard first aid and CPR Level C? The Canadian Red Cross now calls it Intermediate First Aid with CPR. It's a two-day course at WorkSafeBC's Intermediate level, which replaced OFA Level 2 on November 1, 2024. Basic First Aid, formerly Emergency First Aid, is the one-day option at WorkSafeBC's Basic level, which replaced OFA Level 1. If your first aid assessment calls for an Advanced attendant (formerly OFA Level 3), you need a separate Advanced course.
In the blended format you complete about 8 hours of theory online at your own pace, then practise skills in person on manikins and AED trainers. To certify, you attend the full class, demonstrate each skill and score at least 75% on the written evaluation. Canadian Red Cross certificates are issued within 48 hours and are valid for three years.
- Aligned with WorkSafeBC's Basic and Intermediate first aid levels
- Hands-on practice with AED trainers and adult, child and infant manikins
- Blended or fully in-person format
- Blended and in-person formats for different learning schedules

Who is this for? Built for BC workplaces, childcare staff, personal support workers, security teams, teachers and construction crews. Topics include cardiac arrest, choking, severe bleeding, breathing emergencies, head and spinal injuries, poisoning, and heart attack and stroke recognition, plus CPR for adults, children and infants.
