First Aid and CPR Training

What Will You Learn?

• Recognize fire hazards and understand how to prevent them. Learn the proper use of firefighting equipment. Be able to respond effectively in fire emergencies. Conduct fire drills and assist in evacuation planning. Help implement fire safety measures in any workplace.

Requirements

• First Aid and CPR training requirements vary depending on the course type, provider, and intended use (e.g., workplace, community). Generally, courses can be online, in-person, or blended learning. Online courses are self-paced, while in-person and blended courses often have specific durations, such as 13-14 hours for Standard First Aid & CPR. For workplace requirements, some organizations, like the Canadian Red Cross and the American Red Cross, offer certifications that meet OSHA and other workplace standards. Certifications typically last for two years and can be renewed through review or challenge courses, says the American Red Cross.

Audience

• First Aid and CPR training can be broadly targeted at any individual, but also at specific groups like community leaders, businesses, and organizations. The course content is generally designed for anyone needing to recognize and respond appropriately to emergencies like cardiac arrest or injuries until professional help arrives.
