Are you looking to change careers and apply with Calgary Fire or Edmonton Fire? Calgary Fire opened their recruitment on November 1, 2022 and it closes on November 30, 2022! Edmonton Fire will be opening their recruitment process from January 1-31, 2023.

If you haven’t taken Advanced First Aid (AFA) within the last 3 years, you will need to certify in an AFA course prior to a conditional job offer from either fire department. Here at Delta Emergency Support Training, we certify you as a Canadian Red Cross Advanced First Aider with Basic Life Support (BLS CPR) in one course.

Our AFA course is a hybrid version, perfect for individuals with full-time jobs, families, or busy schedules. There are 40 hours of online virtual sessions/online work to complete, and 40 hours of in-person skill days.

We typically run an AFA Cohort over the course of 4-6 weeks, and you attend 2 Friday nights and 2 weekends with our full-time active duty Advanced Care Paramedic instructors. We have real experience, real equipment, and exceptional student feedback.

Be one of our next students and become a Professional Responder.
