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.
SERT Course Cancellation Policy
Course cancellations and transfers can be accommodated when the request is made at least 5 full business days prior to the scheduled start of the course. After that time up until the start of the course, a $35 fee will be levied for course cancellations or transfers. No refund will be given for participants who fail to show up to a course. If you wish to take another course, you must pay the full course price again. In the instance of extenuating circumstances, please contact the Education Coordinator. Blended Learning PINs have a $10 value and are non-refundable once activated by the participant.
We reserve the right to cancel courses due to low enrolment numbers at the discretion of the Education Coordinator.
Red Cross Recertification Policy
Red Cross regulations state that:
1. Your certification must still be valid on the date of recertification- no exceptions.
2. Current certification must be from the Red Cross
3. Recertifications can only be taken once, after which time you must register for a full course
