Standard First Aid & CPR Level C – Blended Learning

Standard First Aid and CPR Level Certificate | First Aid Care

What is Canadian Red Cross Blended Learning?

• Essentially, the course has two components:  (i) An Online Learning part — the theory —  and (ii) an In-class session.    The in-class session is meant to cover all the practical aspects of the course, e.g.:  Performing CPR and applying bandages, etc.
• Unless all in-class is requested (two full days, minimum 7 participants), all our courses are in the Blended Learning Format.
