Kitchener First Aid & CPR/AED Recertification Training Registration

Kitchener First Aid and CPR/AED Recertification Training certificates are valid for three years. Your certification remains valid if you complete a recertification course before the expiration date of your previous CPR/AED Level C or Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C training. Emergency First Aid certificate holders cannot recertify in Ontario. Instead, they must complete the entire course again.

During First Aid training, you receive critical life-saving skills. However, these are easy to forget if not practiced often. Recertification is the process that helps keep your skills up-to-date while also imparting any new First Aid and CPR facts.
