Intermediate First Aid Recertification
INTERMEDIATE FIRST AID RECERTIFICATION WITH LEVEL C CPR & AED (Formerly Standard First Aid Re-Certification)
Western Canada Fire & First Aid’s first aid course is designed for those individuals who live or work in areas where the availability of emergency medical services may be delayed and for those trying to meet government regulations. The recertification class is intended for those individuals who have kept up with their knowledge and who are regularly practicing or utilizing their skills.
A student who is unsuccessful and whose certification has expired will need to complete Western Canada Fire & First Aid Inc.’s two-day Intermediate First Aid program.
Western Canada Fire & First Aid’s Intermediate First Aid course follows the new CSA standards Z1210-17 and the “Alberta Plus” standards. This course includes level C CPR (Adult, child & Infant)

FAQs
Intermediate First Aid certifications are valid for three years. To maintain your certification, you should complete a recertification course before it expires. Simply register for a First Aid Recertification course with WCFF before your current certification expires to renew your qualification.
To take WCFF’s Intermediate First Aid Recertification course, you must hold a valid Intermediate First Aid certification. Participants must also be at least 14 years old. If you are a minor, you will need consent from a parent or guardian to participate.
If your First Aid certification expires before you complete recertification, you will no longer be eligible to take the recertification course. Instead, you will need to complete WCFF’s full Intermediate First Aid Course to obtain a new certification.
WCFF’s First Aid Recertification course is a 1-day, 8-hour course, making it shorter than the regular 2-day Intermediate First Aid Course. This allows participants with a valid certification to refresh their skills and renew their qualification in a single day.
