Common Questions

Certification — Frequently Asked Questions

Answers based on Nova Scotia workplace rules, Canadian Red Cross policy, and Halifax course options.

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.

Coast2Coast's Halifax location at 6496 Chebucto Rd serves students from Clayton Park, Fairview, Westmount, Armdale, the North End, the South End, Downtown Halifax, Dartmouth, and Bedford. Over 200,000 participants have trained with us across North America.
