Who should take Red Cross training Ottawa

First aid and CPR knowledge benefits everyone, not just those in healthcare. Our aid courses are ideal for:

• Parents and caregivers who want to protect a child in an emergency
• Students preparing for volunteer placements or jobs that require a first aid certificate
• Employees in sectors such as education, construction, fitness, and hospitality where workplace safety is a priority
• Business owners looking to meet compliance requirements and create a safer environment for staff and customers
• Members of the general public who want the ability to respond quickly in emergency situations

Our training also benefits community groups and sports teams across Ottawa, helping more people gain the skills to save lives.

We deliver both public courses at our Ottawa locations and private sessions for workplaces or community groups. If you are unsure which is the right course for your needs, our team will help you choose the option that matches your role, level of responsibility, and learning goals.

Aid courses for every skill level and requirement

First Aid Connect delivers a full range of first aid training based on different roles and needs. These include:

• Standard First Aid with CPR/AED Level C or BLS / CPR HCP
• Emergency First Aid with CPR/AED Level C for entry-level safety training
• CPR / AED Level C courses, including BLS for healthcare providers
• Recertification training to renew your Red Cross qualifications

All our first aid and CPR courses are offered in blended format, combining self-paced online learning with one day of instructor-led, in-person training. This model allows you to complete your certification efficiently while still gaining hands-on skills in a classroom setting.

Support from experienced Ottawa-based instructors

Our instructors are not only certified by the Canadian Red Cross but also have years of real-world experience in responding to emergencies. They know how to make first aid and CPR training practical, engaging, and easy to follow.

When you register for one of our aid courses, you are guided through each step, from accessing your online learning to completing your in-class session. Our instructors understand that students learn in different ways, so they use a mix of demonstrations, hands-on practice, and scenario-based activities to help you build confident, usable skills.
