1. What first aid course should I take?
The first thing to determine is what reasons are you taking the course for? Is it for work or for personal reasons? Also, do you need to cover first aid skills for infants and children or only adults? This will help to determine whether you should register in a WCB Occupational First Aid course or into a Canadian Red Cross First Aid course.
