Upgrading From OFA Level 2 to Level 3: When and Why

Upgrading from OFA Level 2 to Level 3 is a big time commitment but can pay off for the right BC worker.

When it makes sense

  • You want to work logging, mining, oil and gas, or other remote industries
  • You want to be a primary first aid attendant at camps or remote sites
  • You want the highest workplace first aid credential in BC

What it takes

Ten days, 80+ hours. Significantly more clinical content. Same three-year validity.

How Level 2 helps

Level 3 builds directly on Level 2 skills. Going straight to Level 3 without Level 2 experience is harder. See OFA Level 2 overview.
