Our Recertification courses have been designed to refresh your First Aid and CPR/AED knowledge and hands-on skills. Since techniques change over time, it’s important to attend a Recertification course to learn new curriculum and life saving methods. Our highly trained Canadian Red Cross instructors will keep your memory fresh and make you confident in your life saving skills. Register for a First Aid and CPR/AED course in Brantford today!
