As an employee, you are responsible for maintaining a valid first aid & CPR certificate for employment purposes, and re-certify your first aid & CPR certification before the specified expiry date as indicated on your card.

It is the employee’s responsibility to ensure your first aid & CPR certification is valid at all times.  Every certification card we issue will have an expiry date.

In order for you to qualify for a re-certification, you must have the following:

  • A valid first aid / CPR certificate from us in the last 2-3 years, not expired.
  • The actual certification card.  Your first aid instructor will need to see it in order for you to be allowed to attend the re-certification class. 

If you have lost your card, or your existing card has already expired, you will not be qualified to attend a re-certification course.

Also, if your existing card is a re-certification standard first aid card, it cannot be re-certified again.
