The St. John's Ambulance and Red Cross courses continue to be the preferred first aid courses. However, in extenuating circumstances other first aid courses may be considered for approval by the Section Coaching Committee and consequently be submitted for the purposes of certification and accreditation.

Courses other than St. John's Ambulance or Red Cross must satisfy the following five (5) criteria in order to be approved:

• The course must be a minimum of 7 hours in length;
• The course must have an expiry of 3 years or less;
• The course must include a written test;
• The course must incorporate a practical component (e.g. slings, splints, etc.)
• The course must be emergency related.

As a condition of membership, Skate Canada Professional Coaches agree to respect and abide by the Skate Canada Coaches Code of Ethics at all times. Professional coaches are required to provide a copy of this code to all of their customers.
