The Steinbach Aquatic Centre offers Standard and Emergency First Aid Certification and Recertification courses for individuals, as well as groups and business.

“More employers are looking to train and certify staff members in First Aid. What many people don’t know is the Aquatic Centre can offer First Aid training on-site,” says Dean Janzen, Aquatic Centre Manager. He notes that City facilities can also be used if groups or business don’t have the room.

The Aquatic Centre has five Canadian Red Cross certified instructions as well as a certified trainer who can facilitate a “train the trainer” program. Groups or organizations may choose to select one individual to receive enough training that, in turn, allows them to train others.

Training and recertification courses are offered at the Aquatic Centre four times a year. Janzen emphasizes “if the dates we have scheduled don’t work, private group classes can be arranged.” Rates are determined by group size.
