First Aid Course, BLS & CPR Certification Training in Midtown Toronto

The majority of workplaces require Intermediate/Standard First Aid with CPR/AED Level C. This 16-hour course issues WSIB approved certificates and meets Ontario workplace safety requirements. An online course alone is not accepted, 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 cover the same first aid principles, one step beyond basic first aid. Certificates last three years, with one recertification within 90 days of expiry.

Our CPR training courses run at 67 Taunton Road, Toronto, ON M4S 2P2, second floor, near Yonge & Eglinton. Take the TTC to Eglinton or Davisville station, or ride the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. Paid street parking is nearby, and we serve Davisville, Leaside, Forest Hill, and Lawrence Park.

CPR training courses come in three levels. Level A covers adults only. Level B covers children and infants, suiting childcare and early childhood educators. CPR/AED Level C covers adults, children, and infants, and is the level bundled with Intermediate First Aid for most Ontario workplaces.

CPR/AED Level C is valid for 3 years, and recertification requires a current Canadian Red Cross certificate. The Lifesaving Society follows different standards, so its certificate cannot be recertified with the Red Cross — you would take the full course. Intermediate/Standard First Aid recertifies once, within 90 days of expiry, and both issue WSIB approved certificates. See training courses and dates.
