Course Description

Blended Learning method combines online learning and face-to-face instruction to achieve a Standard First Aid and CPR/AED certification. This can be done at your own pace and when you have the free time, over several days or all one day – whatever you prefer; but needs to be completed within a 6-week window of the classroom portion. It can be accessed anywhere via the internet. You need to first register into one of our Blended Learning classroom sessions, and then complete the on-line learning portion prior to the classroom session, within 6 weeks of the in-class portion.
