The level of training you need can be determined by answering the following three questions;

1. 1. Does my school or workplace require a specific level of training?
   2. Does my governing body require a specific level of training?
   3. What types of emergencies do I want to be prepared to respond to?

Answering these questions will help best determine if you want or need Standard, Emergency, or CPR-only training. We always recommend Standard First Aid with CPR Level C which meets most school and workplace requirements. Health Care Providers (HCP) need to take Basic Life Support (BLS). BLS certification requires participants register for BLS not in conjunction with Standard or Emergency First Aid courses.

First aid refers to the care provided to an injured person until professional medical care can be obtained. CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation which involves the combination of rescue breathes and chest compressions. CPR is done to circulates blood that contains oxygen to vital organs in a person suffering from cardiac arrest when the heart and breathing have stopped. In a Standard or Emergency first aid course, there is a component of CPR training recognized by WSIB. Alternatively, CPR can be taken as a stand-alone course.
