How soon are you going over?

I have a CSM in my opposite Coy that can instruct CPR.  HE is a member of St.John's for his day job.  In fact he teaches the yearly First Aid/CPR course at my unit.  I can approach him casually and ask what can be done.  No guarantees, but this might help you.

If you just require basic Standard/Emergency first aid certificate, maybe try the Ottawa community centres.

The Ottawa Paramedics also offers free CPR "C" courses regularly (but full until May).

If it is for PSP and you can't get it right away, let your deployment hr manager know and they may let you go to trg without it. I didnt have all my dental stuff done and I got to go.

Contact your local fire department as they may have a course offering, or they will be able to find a course you might be able to sit in on

Stuart,

Please revisit the site guidelines pertaining to capitalization, punctuation, etc. Proper posting will probably result in more people reading your query and possibly more feedback to your question.

I was going to suggest this. Note that the training is administered by "Active Canadian Emergency Training", not St John Ambulance. I took the CPR & AED class.

Also, while the free classes may be booked up, the City of Ottawa has many other first aid classes available for a fee. go to their online registration program and search keyword "CPR"

I got  a course booked finally. A lady  from the Ottawa Heart and Stoke Office is willing to give me  a private course next Sunday.
I tried the various links and followed most of them till I gave up when I called and found courses booked and a long waiting list for the next course.
The lady  at the Base Petawawa Family  Center gave me a number to call of the company  who taught  her CPR  but no call backs. I tried the local hospitaland their contact number for an instuctor never called back.  St. John ambulance  in Pembroke was full next opening was in May  or early  June if they had 8 people signed up in time. I tried almost every means in my area and almost gave up.  A lot of steps to get  thru  selection process.


Thanks for the help.

I hope this is a better post than my  last one. I am not very  good with written English,  it is not my  strong point or  something I was even good at thru school. I never took English , spelling or grammar in grade school till grade 7. I was was tooo busy  with remedial gym classes because they  thought I needed the sports training more. I suck at sports too.  I do try hard to get my  point across clearly, some times I miss.
