Is Intermediate First Aid the same as OFA Level 2?

Yes. As of late 2024, WorkSafeBC transitioned the name from Occupational First Aid Level 2 (OFA 2) to Intermediate First Aid (IFA). The course content, 14-hour duration, and 3-year certification validity remain the same.

What are the daily hours for this Coquitlam first aid course?

The course runs over two consecutive days, from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM each day. You must attend the full 14 hours to be eligible for certification.

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

No, there are no prerequisites. You do not need to hold a Basic First Aid (OFA 1) certificate to enroll in the Intermediate level. However, you must be physically capable of performing CPR and patient handling.

What should I bring to the Metro Safety training center?

Please bring a government-issued photo ID (required for your WorkSafeBC certificate), a water bottle, and snacks. Wear comfortable clothing as you will be participating in hands-on practical scenarios on the floor.
