This course will refresh your first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills for those who need training due to work requirements or who want more knowledge to respond to emergencies at home and in their community.

Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a recertification for Standard First Aid and CPR Level C. CPR Level C includes cardiopulmonary resuscitation training on adults, children, and babies. This certification is valid for 3 years.

In order to receive your certification, you must:

• Have a valid Standard First Aid Certificate with CPR C, that you obtained in the last three years through the Canadian Red Cross. You cannot take a recertification course if your original certificate has expired. Please note, you can only recertify once after completing a First Aid certification. If you have already recertified, you will have to complete the full Standard First Aid Training.

• Successfully demonstrate all skills and critical steps

• Obtain a minimum of 75% in written knowledge evaluation

• Demonstrate 100% participation in course, including in role playing and skills practice.

Format

This course is offered in a one-day in person format. This is an 8-hour day where we review the knowledge and skills you obtained at your previous First Aid certification, and ensure you can continue to provide high quality First Aid care.
