First Aid Training, CPR & BLS Certification in St. John's

Most Newfoundland and Labrador workplaces require Standard First Aid with CPR/AED Level C, covering adult, child, and infant. It is the minimum standard under Newfoundland and Labrador workplace safety law. WorkplaceNL approved certificates are required (online-only ones are not accepted), and we issue them within 48 hours. No prerequisites are needed.

Emergency First Aid is a one-day course covering the essentials for lower-risk workplaces. Standard First Aid is the two-day course most St. John's workplaces require, adding care for fractures, burns, head injuries, and sudden medical emergencies. Both include CPR/AED Level C. Certificates are valid three years and renewable within 90 days of expiry at a 75% minimum grade. No prerequisites.

CPR/AED Level C certification is valid for 3 years. Recertification must be done with the same certifying body, so a Lifesaving Society certificate cannot be recertified with the Red Cross, and you would take the full course instead. Standard First Aid recertification is available once, within 90 days of expiry; if it expired more than 90 days ago, the full course is required.

Yes. BLS replaced CPR-HCP in April 2019. It is the Red Cross standard for healthcare professionals and first responders, covering high-performance CPR and opioid overdose response. BLS is valid one year and is mandatory for clinical roles like nurses, paramedics, and hospital staff. No prerequisites; non-clinical workers should take Standard First Aid.

CPR Level A covers adult CPR and AED use only, in about 4 hours. CPR Level B was a legacy infant/child-only level that has been phased out across Canada in favour of Level C. CPR/AED Level C covers adults, children, and infants in one course, including two-rescuer CPR, choking response, and AED use, in the same course length as Level A. Most Newfoundland and Labrador employers require CPR/AED Level C since it covers every age group, and certification is valid for 3 years.

AEDs are common across Newfoundland and Labrador in offices, transit hubs, schools, and gyms, and every course includes hands-on AED trainer practice. CPR provides a crucial 10-second window to initiate life-saving efforts, and every minute without CPR reduces survival odds by 7 to 10%, so bystander action significantly improves survival rates. WorkplaceNL regulations align CPR training with CSA Z1210:24 standards. A CPR pocket mask is required for participation.

WorkplaceNL approved certificates are issued within 48 hours of completion, often the same or next business day. You will need a minimum grade of 75% and 100% attendance. For blended courses, online access is emailed within 24 hours of registration. Contact us for group bookings of 8 or more.
