Registration Information:

Applications for courses are taken until class is full. Early registration is advised to avoid disappointment. Registrants who withdraw from the class prior to class start may make an application for a refund or a transfer to another class. St.John Ambulance reserves the right to cancel any class in which the minimum registration is not received or for other reasons as required. Every effort will be made to notify all registrants in the event that a class is cancelled. St. John Ambulance provides certificates for courses upon successful completion. The certificates come in two sizes - for wallets and for wall display - and are mailed to participants 1-3 weeks after course completion. Mandatory attendance to all sessions is required and students are evaluated on practical skills as well as on a written multiple choice quiz. Verbal tests are available by request. First Aid certificates are valid for 3 years. CPR certificates are recommended to be renewed more frequently.
