First Aid & CPR — Windsor FAQs
Standard First Aid & CPR Level C is what most Windsor workplaces, daycares, and St. Clair College programs require under Ontario OHSA. Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C is a shorter option suited to Windsor security guards and PSWs who are not the primary workplace first aider in their Essex County workplace.
Yes. WSIB approved training is available through our Windsor First Aid and CPR/AED courses. These courses meet Ontario OHSA first aid requirements for most workplace settings.
Yes. All CPR Level C and First Aid courses include hands-on training with an automated external defibrillator (AED). You will practice AED use during the in-class skills session at our Windsor Howard Ave facility, using professional-grade training equipment.
Yes. Canadian Red Cross First Aid and CPR Level C certification is valid for 3 years. After that you can take a recertification course in Windsor — you do not need to repeat the full course unless your certification has been expired for more than 3 years or was previously obtained through a recertification course.
Yes. Blended learning lets you complete the theory portion online at your own pace, then attend only the hands-on skills session at our Windsor Howard Ave location. This is the most popular format for automotive workers, St. Clair College students, and University of Windsor healthcare students across Windsor-Essex.
Yes. You are eligible for a free skills practice retake within 90 days at no extra cost if you do not pass on your first attempt. Our 99.99% pass rate means nearly all Windsor students certify on their first attempt at 2679 Howard Ave Unit 102.

Canadian Red Cross certificates are recognized by virtually all Ontario employers, WSIB, municipalities, and licensing bodies — including Windsor Regional Hospital, major automotive manufacturers on EC Row, the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board, and Essex County organizations. If your employer has a specific requirement, contact us before you book.
Yes. Our Windsor facility at 2679 Howard Ave Unit 102 is conveniently located near Devonshire Mall and accessible by Windsor Transit. Ample free parking is available on site for students who drive — making it easy to reach from any Windsor neighbourhood or from nearby communities in Essex County.
Yes. If your CPR Level C or First Aid certification is still valid on the day of your class, you can take the shorter recertification course in Windsor. However, Red Cross guidelines require your certificate to be valid on the actual day of your recertification class — if it has expired, you must complete the full course instead. Both options are available at our Windsor Howard Ave facility.
