Emergency First Aid (Basic)

Emergency First Aid (EFA) - (Basic) courses provide instruction on how to handle an emergency in the first few minutes before an ambulance arrives. Most provinces require this level of first aid for workplaces of less than 5 workers on a shift. Each course covers topics such as managing an emergency, CPR, severe bleeding and burns, and more. Courses are 1 day.
