Emergency First Aid And Cpr

im 13 my mom decided people now are " sue happy" so shes making me stop babysitting for a while till i get my emergency first aid, CPR certificates? and she doesn't want it to be a high cost ... maybe something for under $40.00 ???!!!

The Red Cross actually has a babysitting course. It teaches how to handle an emergency, as well as other babysitting skills. See the link below. I didn't see how much it costs, but that probably varies by location. Since it's aimed at 11-15 year-olds, I imagine the cost would be low.

Emergency First Response is an innovative CPR/first aid program. Primary Care (CPR) prepares you to render aid to those with life-threatening ...

The course i took is called Bronze Medallion/Emergency First Aid and CPR "B".
after the exam i got my temporary certificate card. It said:
Emergency First Aid with CPR "B"'
and did not mention the Bronze Medallion
does that mean I failed that part?

If you passed (you should have been told if you did or not) you should have gotten 2 temporary certificates one for bronze medallion and another for emergency first aid and CPR B. If you didn't get a temporary card you should go back to the pool (or call them) and make sure you passed or failed, and if you passed the temporary card doesn't really matter because you will be getting the real card in a couple of weeks anyways.

i am going to take a few classes in college next semester and if i pass them i get these certificates. and i was wondering if there are any jobs i can get with them
im sorry but i forgot to mention that i am going to get my EMT the semester following this one becasue i am trying to be a fire fighter and i know it is handy to have. when i get my EMT where do i apply?

Than go a step higher and become an EMT. The only job you can get with those certificates is a life guard position.

Hi, for a job I want to apply for it requires one to have Emergency First Aid and CPR level "C".

However, the place I am getting my first aid from has the following seminars: "Emergency First Aid and Level A CPR", and "Standard First Aid and Level C CPR".

I was just wondering what is the difference between them, and which one is better to take in my case?
So do I have to get the seperate CPR Level "C"?

Emergency First Aid is life saving and Standard First Aid is non-life threatening (like splinting a fracture). You need Emergency First Aid and Level A CPR.

Hey, first of all, thanks for checking out my question.

OK, so I work at this place where one of the job requirements are to have Emergency First aid and CPR level C. I have no training in any of these areas, but they hired me knowing this and I always work with people that have this training.

I just got my Summer work schedule and it turns out I am going to be working alone now, starting mid-July. I feel it's in my best interest to get certified now that I will be working alone.

My questions are:

1. I am required to have Emergency First Aid training, but I have checked my local Saint Johns Ambulance and the course for Standard First Aid training is twice as long, but only $10 extra. I figure I might as well get that instead, but does that mean Standard First Aid outranks the Emergency First Aid? Meaning, f I have Standard First Aid, does that mean I am more than qualified, or does that mean that I need to also get Emergency First Aid?

2. I also need CPR Level C. Is This included in my First Aid Training? If not, how long does this course usually take for and how much (ballpark figure is OK) does it usually cost?

3. Where I work there is an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Am I also trained to use this when I am trained in EFA/SFA? If not, is there any way I can get trained to use this, or does it even require training?

If it helps, I live in Canada and work with children and infants.
Thanks, and sorry for all of the questions! :)

If you have a 'higher' level of first aid or CPR, you do not need to certify at a lower level. So if you have Standard First Aid, you have outranked the Emergency First Aid qualification (which is good).
Here is the hierarchy of first aid:
Basic First Aid
Emergency First Aid
Standard First Aid
... (you can do advanced courses here)

For CPR:
CPR-A
CPR-B
CPR-C
CPR-HCP (Health Care Provider)

AED is a separate qualification. It is included in most Canadian Red Cross courses, separate with St. John's Ambulance (usually), and available with the Lifesaving Society.

It is definitely worth getting Standard First Aid training as it includes a bunch of valuable information. On top of that, unless you are in health care or on a first response team, you will never need a higher certification. Additionally, most SFA courses include CPR-C (double check this though).

Costs of courses vary in price depending on the level of the course, where you are taking it, and if it includes AED. I have seen courses for SFA & AED run by independent instructors for $75 and as high as $200 with some agencies in Toronto area.

Check out the sites I listed below. Look for "Take a Course" on the St. John's or Lifesaving Society sites. The Red Cross address below is the site for all their available courses by location. Also, check out your local recreation centre or pool - they run lots of courses as well.
