First Aid Course, BLS & CPR Certification Training in Brampton

Most workplaces require Intermediate/Standard First Aid with CPR/AED Level C. This 16-hour course pairs first aid with CPR training, issues WSIB approved certificates, and satisfies WSIB Regulation 1101 first aider ratios. Our first aid courses and CPR courses also cover most college and school requirements. An online course alone will not earn CPR certification, and there are no prerequisites.

There is no difference — they are the same course. The Canadian Red Cross renamed Standard First Aid to Intermediate First Aid in 2022. Both deliver the same comprehensive first aid content, one step beyond basic first aid, with CPR training at Level C. Certificates last three years, and recertification courses run once within 90 days of expiry. See how Standard and Emergency First Aid compare.

Emergency first aid courses run one day, about 8 hours, for basic workplace requirements or personal interest. Standard First Aid runs two days, adding comprehensive first aid and emergency response training from cardiovascular emergencies to bone, muscle, and joint injuries. Both include CPR training at Level C. Recent Canadian Red Cross updates added enhanced protocols for pelvic injuries and choking responses.

CPR training comes in four levels: A, B, C, and BLS. Level A covers adults only. Level B covers children and infants, which suits childcare staff and early childhood educators. CPR/AED Level C covers adults, children, and infants, and is bundled with Intermediate First Aid. Most Ontario employers ask for Level C CPR certification.

CPR certification at Level C and Intermediate/Standard First Aid both last three years. First Aid recertification courses run once, within 90 days of expiry, so a just-lapsed certificate still qualifies. Bring proof of previous certification.

The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board recognizes this format, so blended CPR courses lead to full certification.
