    BLS — Richmond Hill FAQs
    Yes. BLS and CPR-HCP refer to the same healthcare-provider level of resuscitation training. Basic Life Support is the current term used by both the Canadian Red Cross and the Heart & Stroke Foundation. BLS at our Richmond Hill location covers high-performance CPR, team resuscitation, automated external defibrillator use, and adult, child, and infant scenarios — all required by healthcare employers in York Region.
    Yes. Mackenzie Health Richmond Hill, one of the largest hospital campuses in York Region, accepts Canadian Red Cross Basic Life Support certification for clinical staff compliance. BLS is recognized by regulated health professions colleges across Ontario including the CNO and CDHO for nurses and dental hygienists working in Richmond Hill.
    Yes. Basic Life Support certification must be renewed every year. BLS certifications are valid for only 1 year in Canada — creating an annual renewal cycle for healthcare providers at Mackenzie Health and other Richmond Hill clinical settings. BLS Renewal sessions at 129 Church St S run 3–4 hours, and certificates are issued within 48 hours.
    Yes. Nursing students, dental hygiene students, medical students, and other healthcare program candidates are among the most common BLS participants at our Richmond Hill facility. Most Ontario college and university healthcare programs require current Basic Life Support certification before clinical placement, and our 129 Church St S location accommodates single registrants and student groups year-round.
    Yes. BLS and Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C in Richmond Hill can be taken on the same day depending on schedule availability. BLS is a 4-hour session and Standard First Aid runs 9AM–5PM. Same-day completion is ideal for healthcare workers who need both a clinical BLS card and a WSIB-compliant workplace first aid certificate.
    Yes. Basic Life Support at our Richmond Hill training facility includes automated external defibrillator (AED) training as a core component. Participants practise AED use in team-based high-performance CPR scenarios, including adult, child, and infant patients. AED competency is required for all regulated healthcare practitioners in clinical settings across York Region.
    No. BLS certification is entirely in-class at our Richmond Hill facility — there is no online blended format for Basic Life Support. The Canadian Red Cross requires all BLS skills to be assessed in person under direct instructor supervision. Sessions at 129 Church St S run 4 hours for initial certification and 3–4 hours for BLS Renewal.
    Yes. they are distinct certifications. Basic Life Support is a 4-hour healthcare-provider certification covering high-performance team CPR, cardiac arrest management, and automated external defibrillator use — designed for clinical professionals. Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C is a full-day WSIB-compliant course for general workplace compliance. Most Richmond Hill healthcare employers require BLS; non-clinical employers require Standard First Aid.
    Yes. for clinical PSW roles in Richmond Hill — particularly in hospital and long-term care settings like Mackenzie Health — employers may require Basic Life Support alongside Standard First Aid. Community-based PSWs not working in clinical environments typically only need WSIB approved Standard First Aid & CPR. If unsure which certification your employer requires, explore our professional responder courses in Richmond Hill if you are pursuing an advanced clinical career path.
