The Canadian Red Cross re-certification courses are for those who already possess valid certification and need to renew their skills for employment purposes:
Our Red Cross first aid & CPR re-certification courses are intended for those who already possess valid first aid & CPR certification from the Canadian Red Cross, but are required by their employer to re-certify on an annual basis, or for those who possess valid first aid & CPR certification that is nearing its expiry date.
First aid and CPR for adults only. Level A is commonly selected for workplace certifications that do not involve babies and children.
First aid and CPR for babies only. This is often selected for babysitters and nannies who are involved in childcare.
Level C is the most commonly selected certification level: It includes adults, babies, and children together.
Reserved for professional responders and healthcare professionals, which teaches more advanced life support skills.
Our re-certification course is an refresher version of the traditional first aid & CPR course, summarizing the core training of the first aid & CPR training that was already taught to you in the past. It’s sole purpose is to re-immerse you with the core first aid & CPR training in order for people to memorize the course curriculum by the means of repetition. Although your current first aid & CPR certification has not yet expired, your employer may require you to attend a re-certification course on an annual basis in order to refresh your first aid skills.
