CPR Related Questions

Yes, Students are required to maintain a CPR at the Healthcare provider level (HCP)* or CPR Basic Life Support (BLS) certification, these will include CPR (adult, child and infant) + AED certification. This requirement contains training beyond that of a Level C CPR which may not include defibrillator or bag-valve-mask techniques

CPR methods have greatly evolved over the past decade and continue to go through significant evidence-based revisions annually as research progresses. For this reason, although your CPR card may say it is valid for two or three years, it is essential for students to re-certify annually at the Health Care Provider (HCP) level.

*Some providers are no longer offering CPR level HCP, and this has been replaced with CPR level BLS.

The CPR BLS standalone course takes about 4 hours for certification, and awards a 1-year certificate. A 2-hour course is required for re-certification.

Many cohorts elect to arrange CPR/BLS training for the entire class, or with students from other cohorts – Student Affairs is happy to book a room for you for this purpose. Currently some providers are offering online courses.

We do not make a recommendation regarding providers, please find a course that works in your schedule and location. We will require you to upload your certification/re-certification annually.

It is required to upload your certification/re-certification annually - by September 30th.

Criminal Background Check

Yes, the Criminal Record Review Act states that (1.1) an education institution must ensure that every registered student who will work with children or work with vulnerable adults undergoes (a) a criminal record check, or (b) a criminal record check verification. For full information on the matter visit the BC Law Part 4.1 for Registered Students.

We accept an electronic copy if it is sent by the police department or RCMP, or a hard copy in the sealed envelope directly from the student.

We have enrolled with the Criminal Records Review Program Applicant based online service.  Incoming students can use our access link and code to request a criminal records review, and the clearance will be forwarded to us directly. There is a $28 fee for accessing the service.
