Hey I’m hoping someone can help me out who has maybe gotten the certification for their program. For my program I need to get Intermediate first aid and CPR C. Ivany campus doesn’t do the certifying so I’ve been looking at St. John’s ambulance. I cannot find information and the school won’t help on whether the blended option would count (I know full online doesn’t count). I also don’t think I need the AED stuff but there isn’t a course that doesn’t also have that.

I’m just annoyed cuz the course is $165 which is so expensive and I don’t want to overpay for something I don’t need or book something that won’t count and have to pay again.

Any advice?

Hi everyone! Applied to GIS at COGS and am waiting to hear back but I also recently got into BCIT for Fall 2027 :)

How was your social experience at COGS? I know Lawrencetown is a VERY small town but how is the bar/social scene? I have a BSci so I understand a heavy work load but I’m also someone who needs to get out of the house and loves to go to the pub and different restaurants etc etc. Did people tend to go out? Or were social get togethers usually just school focused? Especially for someone considering renting a room outside of nscc dorms. Any insight to your experience would be appreciated :)
