Is the part-time Advanced First Aid certificate the same as the full-time one?

Yes, absolutely. The certification you receive is the WorkSafeBC Occupational First Aid (OFA) Level 3 equivalent. The curriculum, instructional hours, and examinations are identical to the full-time program; only the schedule is spread out to accommodate working professionals.

What is the schedule for this part-time AFA course?

This specific cohort at our Coquitlam location runs with evening sessions typically from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM, combined with full weekend days. This allows you to complete your 70-hour training without taking two weeks off work.

Is there parking available at the Coquitlam training center?

Our training center is located at 914 Sherwood Ave, Coquitlam, BC. We offer free on-site parking for all students, which is especially convenient for our evening and weekend sessions.

What do I need to bring to the first session?

You should bring a valid government-issued photo ID, comfortable clothing suitable for practical floor work (kneeling and bending), and any stationary you prefer for note-taking. All manuals and medical equipment are provided.
