First Aid and CPR/AED training courses are offered in two formats:
- Traditional All In-Class – This training will be held strictly in-class with a Canadian Red Cross instructor. Students will learn theory and practice hands-on skills. 16 hours in-class.
- Online Blended – This training is divided into an online and in-class portion. The online session will contain the theory and knowledge portion of the course, requiring participants to complete quizzes, games and more. This session must be completed prior to the participant’s in-class date (the date they are registered for). Once students complete the online session, they will attend an in-class portion and practice hands-on skills with one of our highly trained Canadian Red Cross instructors. 8 hours online learning and 8 hours in-class.
No, all accredited First Aid and CPR courses require in-person attendance to practice hands-on skills.
