First Aid, CPR & BLS Certification: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers based on Ontario WSIB rules, Canadian Red Cross policy, and Aurora course options.
Most Ontario workplaces require Intermediate First Aid (previously called Standard First Aid) with CPR/AED Level C. This WSIB approved program meets Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act Regulation 1101 and Workplace Safety and Insurance Board expectations. The updated WSIB first aid requirements started on June 22, 2026, so training must meet current standards. The classroom course runs two days; blended learning shortens class time.
Level C covers adults, children, and infants, and the AED component includes hands-on trainer practice. CPR/AED certification through the Canadian Red Cross is valid for three years, and CPR/AED Level C can be recertified multiple times. No prerequisites are required, and participants must achieve a minimum grade of 75% on evaluations.
Basic Life Support replaced CPR HCP in April 2019. BLS courses last four hours and cover airway management, choking relief, opioid emergencies, and high-performance resuscitation, with clear communication and teamwork for fast-paced healthcare teams. BLS certification is valid for one year and requires annual recertification, and the renewal course is shorter than initial training.
Our shared Aurora/Newmarket facility at 16700 Bayview Ave Unit 205 has free on-site parking and serves students from Aurora, Newmarket, Richmond Hill, and North York. Contact us toll free at 1-866-291-9121, or use the registration page to see upcoming course dates.
Certificates issued after successful completion are usually delivered within 48 hours, and a temporary certificate valid for WSIB purposes is issued on the training day. Intermediate First Aid (previously called Standard First Aid) certificates and CPR/AED Level C cards are valid for three years; BLS certification is valid for one year.
Recertification must be completed with the same certifying body. A Lifesaving Society recertification course must be booked through a Lifesaving Society provider, and a valid current certificate is required. Recertification courses are shorter and cheaper than full courses and still teach new techniques and skills. CPR/AED Level C can be recertified multiple times, while Intermediate First Aid can be recertified only once before the full course must be repeated.
Yes. The Babysitting Course is for ages 11 to 15, and Stay Safe! is for ages 9 to 13. Both include basic first aid and child care skills, prepare students to care for children effectively, and award a Canadian Red Cross certificate with no expiry. Over 100,000 learners have been trained in youth courses.
Yes. Professional Responder courses cover advanced emergency care with real-life scenario practice. EMR requires 80 hours in class, and Professional Responder certification is valid for three years, which suits future firefighters, police applicants, and event response teams.
