Advanced Medical First Responder - SJA


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have been in contact with my local branch of St. John Ambulance in regards to volunteering as a Medical First Responder, and have been told that they will train me to their Advanced Medical First Responder level of first aid. My question is: would volunteering with St. John Ambulance help me improve my first aid skills, and (possibly) land me future employment with a paramedic service in Ontario?

I was also told that I must be at least 16 (which I am exactly that age), and they would pay for any certification(s) I would require to volunteer with them. The only license they won't pay for is a driver's license, which is required to drive the ambulance (I already have my G1 and passed an MTO-certified Driver's Education course, so getting the required license shouldn't be too hard for me.)

 

Regards,

FutureParamedicPete
