Frequently Asked Questions

What types of CPR courses are available in Waterloo?

We offer CPR/AED Level A, CPR/AED Level C, and Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP) in Waterloo. If you’re interested in more comprehensive training, we recommend registering for a first aid course. All of our first aid training courses include CPR. These courses include Emergency First Aid, Standard First Aid and Marine Basic First Aid.

Do I need any prior experience to take a CPR course?

No, you do not need prior CPR or first aid training to take a CPR course. Our Canadian Red Cross instructors will teach you all the skills you need to know!

Are there any online CPR training options available?

You can take the online blended format (half online, half in-class) to earn an official WSIB-approved Canadian Red Cross certificate valid for three years.
We do offer online-only courses with comprehensive course content containing first aid information for various injuries like joint injuries, spinal injuries, and chest injuries, but they will not provide you with an official WSIB-approved certificate. You can upgrade the online-only course to the online blended course within three months of completing it. You must complete an in-class component and practice hands-on skills if you want an official certification.

You Learn CPR, We donate . . .
