EMERGENCY MEDICAL RESPONDER BRIDGE (10 DAYS)

This course is for individuals who have completed an Advanced First Aid course (within the last two years) or hold a valid Red Cross First Responder certification (with BLS, O2, and Airway Management) and wish to become licensed Emergency Medical Responders (EMR).

The EMR bridge course is the first step toward a career in emergency response or paramedicine. It meets national and provincial standards for emergency pre-hospital care and covers basic medical and trauma management, anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and ambulance operations. This hands-on, interactive course prepares participants for roles in sectors such as oil and gas, ambulance services, ski patrol, or as a foundation for careers in firefighting or law enforcement.
