Is Intermediate First Aid the same as OFA Level 2?

Yes. WorkSafeBC renamed Occupational First Aid Level 2 (OFA 2) to Intermediate First Aid in 2024. The 14-hour duration, 3-year validity, and curriculum remain the same. This certification is fully compliant with BC OHS Regulations.

What should I bring to the Coquitlam training center?

Please bring government-issued photo ID (required for certification) and wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes, as you will be practicing CPR and immobilization techniques on the floor. All training materials and equipment are provided.

Do I need to take Basic First Aid before this class?

No. There are no prerequisites for this course. You do not need to hold a Basic First Aid (OFA 1) certificate before taking the Intermediate level.

Is there parking available at the location?

Metro Safety Training offers free parking at our 914 Sherwood Ave location. We are also easily accessible via public transit (SkyTrain to Coquitlam Central) for students traveling from Vancouver or Burnaby.
