Standard First Aid Recertification:
Holders of Standard First Aid certificates from other agencies cannot recertify their certificate on a Lifesaving Society recertification course.
Current Lifesaving Society Standard First Aid (SFA) award holders may recertify their SFA certification just once on a Lifesaving Society SFA Recertification Course not more than three years from the Standard First Aid date of issue. To renew SFA certifications subsequently, award holders must repeat the full SFA Course. Thereafter, individuals may renew by alternating recertifications and original courses.
Once your full course certification has expired (on exam day) you MUST complete the whole course and are no longer able to just do the 1 day recertification course.
CPR-HCP (Health Care Providers)
In partnership with the Lifesaving Society, our Y offers CPR-HCP training. This course provides comprehensive training in CPR techniques and principles for adults, children, and infants, including rescue breathing (artificial respiration) and the use of AEDs and bag-valve masks (BVM). This Health Care Provider (HCP) level course is intended for professionals who are required, as part of their job responsibilities, to respond to medical emergencies—such as PSWs, nurses, paramedics, and other allied health care workers and students.
- WSIB approved for the workplace
- Certification is valid for 3 years
The Lifesaving Society deems its certifications to be “current” for 24 months from the certification date.
