Frequently asked questions about this course

For general questions about certifications, payments, etc. See our comprehensive FAQ page.

I am an Early Childhood Education (ECE) student. Is Emergency Child Care First Aid the right first aid course for me?

Does the Emergency Child Care course include CPR Level B?

I need to update my Emergency Child Care First Aid certificate. Is there an Emergency Child Care First Aid recertification course?

The Emergency Child Care First Aid (ECC) program is a nationally recognized program, however child care regulations differ between the provinces.

In BC the child care regulation states that child care workers must have a minimum of 8 hours of first aid training every 3 years. If you are a child care worker you will need to take the full day (8 hour) Emergency Child Care First Aid course every three years.

The Red Cross certification we issue meets BC Child Care Licensing requirements. A shorter re-certification class will not be accepted by BC Child Care Licensing.
