BITTS Helps Newcomers Realize Their Dreams

“Constant change is an essence of life; be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become.” — Reinhold Niebuhr.

This is extremely true that not all dreams get fulfilled in one’s life. Sometimes people have unfulfilled desires that remained a dream because of their other responsibilities and priorities. Later in life, they remember those untrodden paths that they did not get to explore and eventually stew relentlessly about it.

Sometimes, a newcomer lands in this wonderful country called the land of opportunities. They get overwhelmed and confused about where to start and how to begin their career, or how to look for or start an alternative career that has been calling them for a long. In many instances, they could never make any effort to achieve it.

Your story could be one of these. If you think that you are that daredevil who keeps the power to make a difference by taking a bold and strong decision, you are on the right track.

 BITTS International Career College is the place for you that will help you to chase your dreams and fulfill your unkempt promises you might have seen with someone. Our team of experts is always willing to help you out exploring the right career path for you.

Making a Lifesaving Decision – Choose the Right CPR Class

How Do I Decide Which CPR Class to Sign Up For?

Are you confused about which CPR course to sign up for? Contacting the company that demands the certification and asking them what course you need is the simplest way to decide which first aid and CPR training are best for you. BITTS has set up this blog to help our students respond to the most typical question we receive and make the disparities easier to understand.

Requirements for Schools/Colleges and Universities

Basic Life Support [BLS], – (previously known as CPR-HCP,)- may only be required once a year for students entering medical or healthcare professions. However, some nursing schools require students to complete Standard First Aid CPR Level BLS, which is valid for three years and must be renewed every three years. For nursing students, BITTS Certifications provides low-cost group discounts; for more information on group training, please see the link: https://bitts.ca/redcross/group-training-form/

Facilities for childcare or recreation require First Aid knowledge encompassing Standard First Aid and CPR Level C, which includes adult, child, and infant abilities, while Emergency First Aid and CPR are typically needed for children and infants. The program will be determined by organizational policy. BITTS Often offers corporate discounts if your organization wishes to offer First Aid instruction to your personnel.

Occupational Entry Requirements

For guidance with workplace regulatory requirements, it is imperative to get in touch with the organization’s body that oversees workplace health and safety – (in Ontario, this would be the WSIB). The Standard First Aid CPR/AED Level C blended course is a string starting part if you’re unclear about what kind of workplace education you need.

The level of training required at a workplace is determined by the number of people working per shift:

• At least one person must be qualified in Emergency First Aid in businesses with five or fewer employees on any given shift. Institutions around the province provide this 8-hour training.
• In each corporate world with six or more people working on each shift, at least one person must have a Standard First Aid CPR certificate.

For workplaces with five or fewer people working on any one shift, at least one must have an Emergency First Aid certificate. This program is 8 hours long and is offered by organizations across the province.

For workplaces with six or more people working on any shift, at least one must have a Standard First Aid CPR certificate.

If your work is under government authority, such as transportation (airlines, trucking, shipping) or other entities such as the RCMP or Canadian Border Services, you are not subject to Work Safe BC’s jurisdiction and will require Standard First Aid or Emergency First Aid. Both the RCMP and the Border Services recommend the 16-hour Standard First Aid course.

If you are still unsure about the best CPR course for you and/or your business, do not hesitate to contact us through email or phone. BITTS would be pleased to help.

BITTS Certifications – First Aid and CPR Blended Recertification

Recertification confirms that one’s competency has been upheld after initial training and offers a second certification for a time determined by the course. This must be completed before the first certification period expires.

Running a recertification course is different from running a beginner’s course. Participants in a recertification course seek to maintain the abilities and knowledge they acquired during their initial training. Since they have been in a First Aid classroom and have completed training, they are familiar with the course material and may have utilized their First Aid abilities in a genuine emergency. Because of this, they have different learning demands than initial trainees, and their course is taught in a different way (in terms of teaching hours and learning activities). Except for the teaching hours required for each course, all standards for recertification courses remain the same.

How can I get certified or recertified?

• Contact an authorized First Aid provider and sign up for the blended course. You can obtain an interim certificate for the knowledge acquisition element of the certification after completing the online course. The online portion of the course must be completed prior to the classroom portion.

• To receive full re-certification or certification, an instructor needs to examine your practical abilities to confirm that the requisite first aid competencies have been proven.

Can I continue to practice FIRST AID/CPR even though my certificate has expired?

With an expired certificate, you can no longer practice First Aid/CPR.

How frequently should the training be revised?

Most First Aid certifications are only valid for three years at most. Training organizations are allowed to set higher standards and grant certifications with a two-year validity period.

To keep your certification valid before it expires, you must go through the training once more.

Before your original certificate expires, you can renew your standard First Aid certification once by finishing a one-day course with the original provider. The term “renewal” will appear on the new certificate.

If you’ve previously had your standard First Aid certificate renewed, you’ll need to obtain a new one from an authorized institution when your current certificate expires.

Student Success Story with BITTS

My Story

I am Ramanpreet Kaur.  Since my high school, I have always been passionate about traveling and experiencing new cultures. I chose to continue my higher studies abroad after receiving my degree in computer science. Most of my family members didn’t agree with my brave decision, still, after receiving my diploma, I traveled to Canada in Jan 2021, in British Columbia with a program related to my studies. It took a lot of sacrifices, efforts, and tears to complete that journey, yet I was determined to follow it. Despite the difficulties, I knew there was no other way than get going to seek the rights, and independence I had craved for. Studying in Canada gave me the chance to pursue my academic interests added with the freedom to think and act the way I like.

How BITTS Made My Life Easier?

When I started my studies, I found out that the college of my first choice and course did not prove to be as good as I thought and I decided to transfer my college in Ontario since all my friends were in Ontario.  One of my relatives suggested me to apply for a different college in Ontario as well. It wasn’t great timing though, as all intakes were full. Luckily, someone suggested me to apply at BITTS International Career College. 

BITTS’s staff understood my situation and suggested me an ‘Office Administration’ course for May 2021 intake. At that time, I was waiting for my previous college’s tuition refund, but my previous college was taking a lot of time in refunding my fees and this was definitely a stressful time for me.

BITTS enrolled me with a small enrolment fee and set up an installment plan to pay my tuition fees. I started studying right after this and later BITTS helped me finding a good part-time job while I was studying. 

Once I Was Done

After my studies, BITTS also helped me to get a full-time job as an office administrator that was related to my studies. I was on my way!

Thank you very much BITTS. You helped whereas the other schools did not, and assisted me in starting off my career in Canada by moving fast towards the right direction.
