CPR & AED Training

Learning First Aid & CPR is as essential as learning to walk or to read. First Aid & CPR skills are applicable in your daily life, both at home and at work, and prepare you to act on, control, and manage life's emergencies. Before a professional responder arrives to help, you can make all the difference in helping someone in need.

Canadian Red Cross First Aid & CPR training is basic knowledge delivered in easy-to-follow steps - we teach you simple routines that you can apply to a variety of situations, from small injuries and conditions to more severe injuries. This knowledge can turn you from a helpless bystander into someone who can save a life and has the knowledge and skills to help. We created our courses with you, our participant, in mind - to make it as easy as possible for you to attend a course and retain the information.

Our courses are based on a combination of teaching techniques that include: DVD support (filmed material) PowerPoint presentation Instructional Posters Skills demonstration and practise Scenarios Exercises Class discussions and Q & A You will practise on a variety of training materials to help you develop your skills, such as mannequins for practising CPR, AED trainers, bandages, splinting materials, barrier devices, first aid kits, epinephrine auto-injector trainers, Metered Dose Inhalers and spacers etc.

Courses are offered with flexible schedule options to adapt to your busy lifestyle. During the course, our well-trained Red Cross First Aid Instructors monitor your progress and provide you with continuous feedback to help increase your skill retention. The take-home materials are colourful and easy to use, with checklists and step-by-step photos, and can be used as quick reference after the course as well.

There are three levels of CPR training, each designed for a specific care provider.

3 year certification is granted after successful completion of a Canadian Red Cross CPR course.

The different levels of CPR training are detailed in the table below:

CPR levels A and C with AED (Automated External Defibrillator) are offered monthly to the general public. The start and finish times may vary based on which level of training the student requires so be sure to check with the office when booking. If the Saturday course does not fit with your schedule we are often able to place you within a night time course to complete your CPR training.

HCP level CPR is offered at the end of a level C CPR but you must first notify the office at the time of booking to confirm that the instructor is available to stay the extra time required. HCP recertification is available as a group course only.
