2018 Price Increase
New Programs and Pricing November 2018
We recognize that investing in your education and professional certification can be a significant expense. That's why we've held our prices constant since 2012. Prices outside of Vancouver reflect the inclusion of BLS in every course, making the courses identical in pricing to those in Vancouver despite the extra travel costs incurred for the instructors. Affordable pricing is one of the pillars of our mission to serve the province of British Columbia, regardless of the size of the community.
Over the past 16 months, we have invested significantly in building out our support to include pre-course and post-course online resources for all of those who are in class registrants (a premium service that will be available at no charge for class alumni in BC). The new learner portals and enhanced simulators will begin to be available in late October of this year. Soon after, expect a series of online simulators, microlearning courses and other resources fully available to you for building and keeping emergency care expertise.
We are also very excited to offer a NEW SERVICE that should help reduce your overall expense. You will now have the option to RENT an ACLS, PALS or BLS Course Manual instead of purchase it. For those who love to own their manual, that option will still be available. While having access to these manuals before a course is worthwhile, the manuals are often shelved for the next 2 years until the Renewal course is due. With the book rental program, the cost of having a print book available is now reduced by 50-60%. The book rental program is designed to help ease costs and to have an environmental impact too.
Our costs have steadily increased over the past 6 years while are prices have not changed. To sustain our quality programs throughout BC, the ACLS, PALS, and BLS course tuition will all have a nominal price increase starting November 1, 2018 ($15/course). New book prices will increase by $5. We expect the new prices to be constant for years to come. If you choose to take advantage of the rental book program instead of purchasing a manual, your total cost will be less than you may have paid over the past 6 years.
