Not sure about Saskatchewan, but in some provinces St. John Ambulance runs the course. There are 3 tech-instructors on this board who also teach courses that give you the SJA certification. I'm sure one of them will be along shortly to give you some info.

Where in SK are you? I am a tech, and went through the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute and SJA.

I would contact your local SJA branch. If you're not getting anywhere with them, let me know and I'll see if I can find you a contact person for SK.

If you contact Travis Holeha at 306-655-2513 he'll help you out. Im taking the course in Regina in October and hes who sets it all up! There is also 2 other courses going on previous to that one in other cities, but because I live near Regina I only got the info for that one

Awesome! Thanks so much for the info. I probably won't take the course this fall as my little guy is still too young to be away from mama for 2 1/2 days, but hopefully in the spring or next fall I can take it!

Aim for spring. Apparently the fall course isn't normally offered.
