Standard First Aid and Alberta Intermediate First Aid
The Canadian Red Cross uses the name Intermediate/Standard First Aid for this program. Alberta currently lists the Red Cross Intermediate First Aid and CPR C/AED course as an approved Intermediate First Aid course.
That means someone searching for Standard First Aid and an employer asking for Intermediate First Aid may be referring to the same Red Cross course pathway.
Certification
The Canadian Red Cross program provides a three year Intermediate First Aid and CPR certification after successful completion. The current Alberta approved course list includes the CPR C and AED option at the Intermediate First Aid level.
Prerequisites and Delivery
The current Canadian Red Cross Standard First Aid program has no learner prerequisite. Classroom and blended delivery options are available within the Red Cross program. Northline confirms the current format and scheduling before enrolment.
