My First Aid Level one has Expired, now what?

[sNyx]

I was cleaning out my old wallet and found that stupid punch-out card they give you in high school when you complete the First Aid course. We had to do it in gym for two weeks, making out with plastic dolls and such. Anyway, my level one recently expired and I think taking some extra courses in my spare time. I think it would be something constructive to do. Plus you never know right?


Anyone guide me on my quest for knowledge?
Where would I begin? Anyone taken courses outside high school?

i don't think its something that you just forget though.. im sure you can get it renewed.. or that you can just take the test again and skip the course

go to your local rec center, they always have booklets with courses you can take.

I got my level 2 :)

go for industrial if you want to get really qualified. if not, theres a place called TraumaTech in gastown, for 2 days you can get CPR-C and Standard First Aid qualified. I recommended it. Good teachers and most of them are either paramed's or firefighters.

i took my level 1 during the summer through st.john's and the instructor said the level 3 was around $800

just lettin ya know. ideally get a job somewhere that'll pay for it.

Douglas College: Continuing Education (upstairs by the Student Lounge) > $30-40 to renew your existing one.

lol i remember that stuff in HS. actually mines expired too and i forgot everything i learned.

[mugsy]

you can take courses at any st. johns ambulance.
if you dont plan on using an industrial first aid, id recomend getting your cpr-c.
but the industrail first aid can get you wicked jobs where you sit, maybe do some sweeping, at a construction site\warehouse\somewhere industrial-ly dangerous, and you get paid like $13 +\hour. but you end up dealing with sliced off fingers and shit like that.

[o0jenn0o]

mine expiring soon.. theres no way you can "renew" it?

[junglequeen]

standard first aid and cpr c are most recognized
take them through your local pool its cheapest
do the crash course
