Course by the Canadian Red Cross
Course Description
For those that are short on time or enjoy independent study, this WSIB approved first aid and CPR course blends online training with in-class practical instruction to ensure participants gain confidence in their first aid and lifesaving skills. It includes 8 hours of online learning that students can approach at their own pace and 8 hours of in-person first aid training to ensure you have the knowledge and skills to provide first aid and lifesaving skills.
