Standard First Aid & CPR
Course overview
Emergencies happen without warning, and unprepared bystanders often feel helpless in critical moments. Delayed response during cardiac arrest, choking, or severe bleeding can lead to irreversible harm within minutes.
The Standard First Aid & CPR course provides structured training aligned with Canadian emergency response systems. You will learn scene assessment, Check–Call–Care procedures, airway management, CPR techniques, AED awareness, and injury control, alongside legal and ethical responsibilities.
By completing this course, you gain the competence to act decisively during medical, environmental, and opioid-related emergencies. Employers, community organisations, and families value individuals trained in First Aid, CPR, and overdose response who can stabilise situations until professional care arrives.
