Standard First Aid & CPR Level C with AED – Recertification

*Registration in this course requires a CURRENT, Canadian Red Cross Standard First Aid & CPR-C certification. A previous recertification does not meet this criteria. If you arrive at your course without proper proof of certification, we reserve the right to remove you from the course without a refund.

Time Commitment: 8 hours

Cost: $85

Prerequisite: A current Red Cross Standard First Aid & CPR (Level C) certificate

Course Materials: First Aid & CPR Manual

Description: Recertification allows participants to practice and review skills to feel more confident as a First Aider. The Recertification program is important as it informs participants on new standards of First Aid that may have come out since they last took the Standard First Aid course.

Recertification is valid for 3 years, after which time a full certification course must be taken.
