Blended First Aid & CPR/AED Courses
Our Canadian Red Cross Blended Learning courses are ideal for participants with busy schedules. This format combines online learning with in-class, hands-on training and is available for full First Aid & CPR/AED certification.

How it works:

Part 1 – Online Learning: Complete the online portion at your own pace before your in-class date. The online component includes videos, audio, and interactive lessons covering course theory.

Part 2 – In-Class Training: Attend an instructor-led session focused on hands-on skill practice, scenarios, and instructor feedback using professional training equipment.

Blended courses are approved by the Canadian Red Cross and meet WSIB standards. This option is recommended for participants taking First Aid & CPR/AED for the first time, upgrading their training level, or whose certificate has expired.
