Emergency First Aid Recertification

Depending on your province, candidates that have previously received an Emergency First Aid certificate via a credible provider can renew / re-certify their certification by taking an emergency first aid re-certification. This course is not available in all provinces. Check with the provider in your area to see if this course is available for you. This re-certification training covers the same topics outlined in the full course. Candidates will review the same material in a more condensed format. St Mark James’ first aid and CPR instructor will focus the class on areas that need improvement and on changes in the standards.
