First Aid Courses, CPR Certification & BLS Training in Halifax

Yes, our first aid courses in Halifax meet WCB Nova Scotia requirements. Intermediate/Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C and Basic/Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C both earn a Canadian Red Cross certificate. Check with your employer which level your workplace requires before you book.

Most Halifax workplaces require Intermediate first aid certification. Intermediate/Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C runs 16 hours. Basic/Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C runs 8 hours and suits lower-risk workplaces. Healthcare providers book BLS training in Halifax instead, and firefighting and policing careers start with First Responder or EMR. Groups of 8 or more can book first aid classes privately at their workplace.

Standard First Aid and Intermediate First Aid are the same 16-hour course under two names. Emergency First Aid and Basic First Aid are likewise the same 8-hour course for lower-risk workplaces. Both courses include CPR/AED Level C. Compare them on our first aid courses page.

First aid and CPR/AED Level C certificates are valid for 3 years, and BLS certification is valid for 1 year. We run recertification courses for Intermediate/Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C, CPR/AED Level C, and BLS Renewal. Book your recertification before your card expires.

Yes, our CPR course includes practice on an automated external defibrillator trainer, and CPR/AED Level C covers adults, children, and infants. You cannot certify fully online, because the skills testing happens in person. Blended learning pairs the online portion of the training with an in-person skills session, or you can take the course fully in person.
