About the Course
The MBFA course is designed to meet the requirements of Transport Canada for learners who will be designed to perform first aid on board boats and ships. Ships are environments with specific challenges and regulations. The goal of this lesson is to explore the risks and response considerations that apply to people working and or living in a marine environment. This course focuses on a deeper awareness of the anatomy and physiology of the body and moving an ill or injured person to provide care.
