What certification do you actually need?
First Aid + CPR/AED (Level A or C)
For most non-clinical roles (retail, offices, schools, childcare, security), a Standard First Aid with CPR/AED or Emergency First Aid with CPR/AED meets employer and WSIB requirements. You’ll learn bleeding control, choking, shock, medical emergencies, plus adult/child/infant CPR and AED use. fagt.ca
BLS (Basic Life Support) for healthcare
If you’re in a clinical environment (nurses, physicians, paramedics, dental teams, med students), employers usually expect BLS. It focuses on high-quality CPR, team response, AED skills, and airway management tailored to patient care settings. fagt.ca
You can take BLS in Mississauga or recertify if yours is still valid. fagt.ca
Blended vs. Traditional: which format suits you?
- Blended First Aid, CPR & AED (Mississauga): do the online theory at your own pace, then attend a single in-person skills day to finish faster — perfect if you’re busy. fagt.ca
- Traditional (in-class) First Aid & CPR/AED: fully in-person for those who prefer live instruction start-to-finish. fagt.ca

How long will it take — and when do you get your card?
