Which First Aid and CPR Courses Fit Your Job?

The best way to determine which first aid and CPR course you need is to check with the organization requesting your certification. If it's required for your job or school program, review their documentation for the exact course name. For workplaces in Ontario, contact WSIB (Workplace Safety & Insurance Board). If you're still unsure, a Standard First Aid with CPR/AED course is a solid general option and provides more extensive training.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took the EFA-C course with Dr. Babar Khan and greatly enjoyed the process at Pulse Savers. I have taken first aid courses multiple times, but this was my first time participating in a blended course. I enjoyed getting hands-on experience and actually getting to practice with various wound treatments and bandaging methods. The CPR aspects are thorough and I would certainly recommend this course to anyone looking to add to their skills. I certainly feel more confident about helping someone I see that may be in need!

Questions About Our Courses

Formats, levels and recertification.

Not sure which CPR and first aid courses to take?

Tell us your job and we will match the course.

Ask us

Which first aid courses and CPR courses do you offer?

Standard First Aid, Emergency First Aid and CPR/AED Level C (all blended), CPR/AED Level HCP (BLS) in class, plus Standard First Aid and CPR/AED Level C recertification. Also check out our Course Calendar.

How does the blended format work?

You complete the online theory first, at your own pace, then attend the in-class session for hands-on practice and your skills check. Completion of the online course is mandatory to be able to attend the in-person training.

CPR AED Level C course or BLS course: what is the difference?

CPR/AED Level C covers adults, children and babies and is meant for the general population. CPR/AED Level HCP (BLS) is the healthcare level, with additional topics required at healthcare level.

Standard First Aid course or Emergency First Aid course?

Standard covers more topics and takes longer. Emergency covers the essentials. If your employer did not specify, Standard is the safer choice. Since June 2026, Standard First Aid is now called Intermediate First Aid and Emergency First Aid is called Basic First Aid.

Who can take a recertification course?

Anyone whose First Aid or CPR/AED Level C certificate is still valid. An expired certificate cannot be renewed, so book the full course to earn your certificate again.

Is the certificate included in the price?

Yes. The course fee covers your Red Cross certificate and all materials.

What if I do not pass the skills check?

Your instructor will coach you until you are comfortable.

Is BLS offered as a blended course?

No. CPR/AED Level HCP (BLS) is taught fully in class so you can practice team CPR with your instructor.

Course guide

First Aid Courses and CPR Courses in the GTA

Pulse Savers teaches Red Cross first aid courses and CPR courses for the population of Mississauga, Brampton, Scarborough, Pickering areas and GTA. Every class is small, hands-on and led by an experienced instructor. Pick a format that fits your schedule. Not sure where to start? Compare the options below.

Standard First Aid course and Emergency First Aid course

The Standard First Aid course is a full-day class that covers bleeding, shock, fractures, burns and medical emergencies, plus CPR and AED skills. It is the certificate most Ontario workplaces ask for. The Emergency First Aid course is shorter and suits smaller teams, volunteers and anyone who needs a quick refresher. Already certified? Standard First Aid recertification keeps it current. Both courses are available in blended or full in-class formats, and you can check upcoming dates for each location.

CPR AED Level C course and CPR courses for every age

The CPR AED Level C course teaches chest compressions, rescue breaths, choking relief and AED use for adults, children and babies. It is the right choice for teachers, coaches, parents and office first aiders. Blended CPR courses let you finish the theory online, then practice with an instructor in a short skills session. If your certificate is close to expiring, the recertification option keeps your credentials current without repeating everything.

BLS course for healthcare students and professionals

Our BLS course programme, also called CPR Level HCP, is built for nurses, PSWs, paramedic students and anyone entering a healthcare placement. You will practice two-rescuer CPR, bag valve mask use and team communication. A combined first aid and BLS course is available too. Not sure which level you need?
