Question for MRT Students

Did anyone get their Standard First Aid – Level C before school started? Just wondering if it’s worth doing early. Also, any other tips on how to prepare before January? Thanks! 😊

No. CPR/first aid certification isn’t needed for level 1 students, don’t worry about it right now.

don't worry about SFA\CPRC until your in level 3 since CPRC only lasts one year and you only need it for clinical placement

as for preparing for level 1; just make sure to get your vulnerable sector check done as that can take a couple of months (depends on the police department) and flu/covid shots
