As stated already the MFR course is not offered only to SJA volunteers but is also taught to the Canadian Forces and the general public.Exodia said:The MFR course you are asking about is only offered to SJA volunteers and only after a certain amount of time has gone by.

Not taught in Ontario to brigade members but to the general public (ie:industrial first aid teams, patient transfer employees) and also some volunteer fire fighters.R933ex said:What level MFR has been divided into MFR (Brigade focused with 24 hrs of Tng)
This is the level we qualify or volunteers to.AMFR 1 (44 hrs)
Seldom taught here.AMFR Level 2 (80 plus some home study)
R933ex said:Brian,
As a consultant I will be doing an AMFR 2, plus a Red Cross First Responder course for a client down south in the next few weeks, so if you get details to me we might be able to get you course loaded.
Cheers
Tony

I teach courses up to the Advanced Medical First Responder level.As stated already the MFR course is not offered only to SJA volunteers but is also taught to the Canadian Forces and the general public.
As for having a certain amount of time in as a volunteer this is to see if you are going to be a dedicated volunteer and not someone looking to get the course for free. Why should St. John Ambulance supply you with free training than have you say this volunteering is not for me and walk?Not taught in Ontario to brigade members but to the general public (ie:industrial first aid teams, patient transfer employees) and also some volunteer fire fighters.This is the level we qualify or volunteers to.Seldom taught here.
