Are there any recommendations out there for first aid courses that would be appropriate for (pre)-teens and their parents (in Calgary)? I'm overwhelmed with the Google results!

Neither kid has any interest in babysitting so there's no intrinsic motivation to take a course... that's one reason I'd like to find something that would work for the whole family ("we're all doing this whether you like it or not!")

None of us has more than basic band-aid training and I'd like something that at least addresses choking and bleeding... not necessarily CPR though. And I'd prefer something that's broken into a few shorter sessions rather than the all-day 9-4 type sessions I'm seeing when I Google...

Help appreciated!
