What to Expect in a Standard Childcare First Aid Course in Alberta?
Participants that enter this class should arrive on time. Don’t come late! Participants that come late can expect to not be able to take the course. It depends on the instructor, but if you arrive more than 15 minutes late he or she will likely not let you in and you might have to forfeit your payment or hope for a reschedule. You’ve missed too much material and it’s not fair for the rest of the class for the instructor to start from the beginning again.
Expect to stay seated for the first bit as you get an outline for the day and get to know each other. You might be mixed in with students and workers from a wide range of places including construction workers, doctors, nurses, lifeguards and students among childcare and daycare workers.
Competent teachers will understand that students learn through a variety of methods including visually, audially and through action. With this knowledge of varying learning styles a competent instructor will ensure the class learns by watching demos, listening for steps and practising the steps on both infant and adult / child manikins.
Ask questions, have fun, participate, practise and learn! The more practise the better!
What’s the Difference Between Standard Childcare, Intermediate and Basic First Aid?
The content of a standard childcare first aid course is not much different than a Alberta OH&S approved intermediate first aid course. They both require two days and teach adult, child and infant CPR. Basic first aid content is usually covered in day 1 of a standard / intermediate first aid course.
