Standard First Aid & CPR / AED Level C (Intermediate First Aid) + BLS (Basic Life Support) Course in Ottawa

Our Blended Canadian Red Cross Standard (Intermediate) First Aid & CPR / AED Level C training course in Ottawa combines the two courses into one comprehensive training course. Participants learn how to respond to emergencies at work and in the community while developing high-performance CPR, team-based resuscitation, assisted ventilation, and rapid defibrillation skills.

The Standard (Intermediate) First Aid & CPR / AED Level C + BLS course meets current Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) workplace first aid training requirements in Ontario. Intermediate First Aid is the updated name for Standard First Aid under Ontario's First Aid Program and remains equivalent to Standard First Aid under Regulation 1101. The BLS component provides additional professional-level resuscitation training intended primarily for healthcare providers and professional responders.
