Red Cross Logo Emergency First Aid & CPR

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.
