    Description

    This is the first required course to become a Lifeguard. You can take Bronze Star before this course, but it's not required.

Emergency First Aid is for people who want a general knowledge of first aid principles and the emergency treatment of injuries, recognized by Ontario's Workplace Safety & Insurance Board.
    Prerequisite: Age 13 or Bronze Star certification.
