Frequently Asked Questions

What are the differences between the different types of CPR courses?

There are two different levels of CPR courses: CPR/AED Level A and CPR/AED Level C. Both courses cover the same material. The difference is that CPR/AED Level A only covers how to perform life-saving skills on adults, whereas CPR/AED Level C is more comprehensive and covers CPR/AED for adults, children and infants. Upon completion of either CPR course, you will receive a CPR and AED certification valid for three years.

Do I need to take First Aid classes in Ottawa in addition to CPR?

This depends on your job and/or school requirements. All of our First Aid classes in Ottawa include CPR/AED Level C training. We highly recommend taking Standard First Aid and CPR/AED Level C as this is the highest level of first aid training and the most widely accepted course by employers.

Do you offer any online CPR classes in Ottawa?

We offer CPR classes in Ottawa in an online, blended format and an online-only format. To earn an official WSIB-approved Canadian Red Cross certificate, you must enroll in the online blended format (half online, half in class).
We offer online-only courses, but they do not provide an official certificate. If you want an official CPR certification in Ottawa, you must upgrade your training and complete an in-class component to practice your hands-on skills. You can upgrade the online-only course to the online blended course within three months of completing the online-only training.

Can I take a private CPR class in Ottawa?

We do offer private training for groups of 8+. Our private classes have many benefits, like significant savings on your payments and simple billing. We offer group training for Healthcare Providers, Industry Trades, Schools, Security Guards, Government, Social & Support Services Workers, and so much more!
