This is not a course, but rather a certification program for out-of-jurisdiction first aiders. Occupational first aid attendants who have trained in other provinces do not need to be retrained, but they do need to familiarize themselves with BC laws and regulations.

Topics Include:

The 1-day OFA Level 1 certification program is self-study with a supervised exam portion. The course provides reading material to familiarize participants with BC’s occupational first aids laws, regulations, and standards. Once participants have reviewed the material, they must pass a written exam.
