First aid training provided by the air cadet program aims to develop practical first aid competency in cadets. Cadets who wish to participate can earn Emergency or Standard first aid qualifications with St. John's Ambulance.
Cadets who participate on the First Aid team prepare for the annual regional first aid competition. The competition day includes an individual written examination, and a team-based emergency scenario, in which the cadets enter a simulated scene and are judged on their ability to identify and provide initial treatment to a casualty with a complex set of injuries.
