Target Group
This advanced first aid course is approved for pre-hospital medical first responders. Advanced First Aid is a professional level course for emergency responders including firefighters, law-enforcement officers, forestry and industrial workers, and oil and gas safety personnel.
Calgary Fire states an Advanced First Aid certificate (or equivalent) from a Canadian Red Cross provider (that’s us!) is required to be hired. You do not need an AFA certification prior to hiring, but having it before you apply will make your application more competitive. You will need an AFA certification in order to qualify for a Conditional Job Offer; Conditional Job Offers are generally presented ten weeks prior to the start date of a recruit training class.
