About certification...
The WFAC provides its own certificate of completion. The Angeles Chapter and Leader Training Committee of the Sierra Club recognize the WFAC and the combined WFAB plus WFAB+B course certificates of completion for the first aid requirements of leadership ratings O, I, M and E.

The WFAC and WFAB each satisfy the new national Sierra Club leadership requirement for refreshing first aid training every four years.
