Saturday Courses
Weekday Courses
Standard First Aid/"C" CPR
This 16 hour course includes all the content of the Emergency First Aid training, plus head or spinal injuries, bone or joint injuries, heat or cold related injuries and poisons. A First Aid card in Ontario is in effect for three years – at the end of the three years, but before the expiry date on the card, you are allowed to attend a one day Standard First Aid renewal class through the agency that originally trained you. Three years after that time, you must take the full first aid course again.
Emergency First Aid/”A” CPR
This 8 hour course includes emergency scene management, shock symptoms, adult CPR and choking relief techniques, AED use, wounds bandaging practice and sudden illnesses. If “C” CPR is included, the class will include Child and Infant resuscitation techniques and will increase to 9 hours in length. A First Aid card in Ontario is in effect for three years, but there is no renewal class for emergency First Aid, so at the end of the three years you would take the one day course again.
Emergency First Aid/”C” CPR
This 9 hour course includes adult, child and infant CPR and choking relief techniques, plus heart attack/stroke and AED use. The course also covers shock, wound care and sudden illnesses.
First Aid Renewal
This course is for people who possess a current Standard First Aid card received within the past three years and who completed the full, two day program the last time that they took the training. Please note that under WSIB requirements you must renew under the First Aid agency that originally trained you and must bring the previous Standard First Aid card to the class.
