This must be completed prior to the in-class date, and can be worked on over multiple days. Once that is complete, students will attend an in-class session and learn hands-on skills with an experienced Canadian Red Cross instructor. Here, you will practice CPR, how to use an AED, bandaging and more.

In order to be eligible for a First Aid and CPR/AED Recertification course with Bay First Aid Training Center, you must have a valid (not expired) certificate from the Canadian Red Cross.
Eligibility criteria are a little different for CPR/AED Level C versus Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C.

Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C Recertification requires students to have a current certificate from a full training course only.
At Thunder Bay CPR, you cannot recertify a CPR/AED Level A certificate or an Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C certificate. If you wish to renew either of these courses, you will need to register for a full training again.
At Thunder Bay First Aid & CPR Center, we provide a couple different levels of CPR/AED training courses. Each of these courses cover different material and run for different durations of time. It is important to register and complete the correct course based on your needs.
CPR/AED Level A teaches students how to provide CPR, use an AED and assist a victim of choking for adults only. This training takes roughly four hours to complete and will provide the student with a Canadian Red Cross certificate which is valid for three years. CPR/AED Level A training is ideal for those who strictly work with adults such as personal trainers, some office positions, etc.
CPR/AED Level C includes all of the training in CPR/AED Level A, but also teaches students how to provide these skills for children and infants. The techniques used are different based on the age of the victim. It is important to understand these techniques and skills. CPR/AED Level C training is great for those who work with people of all ages. Earn a WSIB approved Canadian Red Cross certificate, valid for three years.

Each of these courses will provide students with a WSIB approved Canadian Red Cross certificate which is valid for three years.
Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C will include all course material of CPR/AED Level C as well as wound care. This is a typical training course for those who work in positions such as a personal support worker, office employees and more. The Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C course is our basic first aid training course and covers fewer first aid topics.
Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C teaches all of the material in Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C, but also includes important topics such as bone, joint and muscle injuries, environmental illness, poisons and more. This is a more advanced first aid training course and is required by daycare workers, nurses and more.
Private/group First Aid and CPR/AED training is a great way to certify multiple people at once. If you are an employer or school program coordinator, we encourage you to inquire about a private training course.
With private training, you must have a group of eight or more participants you are looking to certify for the same course. You will receive amazing benefits such as discounted pricing, choice of training facility, date and more. Once we receive your information, we will send one of our highly trained Canadian Red Cross instructors to your location with all necessary equipment.
Your group can learn amazing life-saving skills together, understanding the importance of First Aid and CPR/AED in the workplace/school. Since it is mandatory in Ontario to have First Aid and CPR/AED trained employees, private training is perfect for you!
