80-hour Wilderness First Responder and Intermediate First Aid bridge

The Bridge Program allows you to build on your 40-hour Wilderness First Aid and Intermediate training to earn your 80-hour Wilderness First Responder and Intermediate First Aid certification. The 80 hr Wilderness First Responder Program is a comprehensive, professional level program. It is the “industry standard” for professional responders such as guides, leaders and specialized search and rescue teams.

This is the right course for you if:

You need a course that complies with ACMG requirements.
You need a workplace first aid certificate for a low or medium risk workplace, or a high hazard workplace that is less than 20 minutes from a 24-hour health care facility.
You do NOT need OFA 3 equivalency for working in B.C. e.g. B.C. Ski Hill.
You need equivalency at OFA 1 level in B.C.
