Over half a million people die every year in North America from cardiac arrest. Without quick intervention from trained individuals in first aid and CPR, the chances of recovery are almost zero. However, with training from workplace-approved standard first aid courses, the chances of recovery are significantly raised. Standard first aid is one of the most comprehensive courses that St Mark James Training has to offer.

CPR Training Included in Standard First Aid

It also includes the most comprehensive and detailed CPR courses. Participants have the opportunity to select from a variety of CPR levels to partner with the course. CPR level “C” comes standard with this first aid course as candidates will learn to do CPR on an adult, child, and infant victims. Candidates can opt for a lower level CPR such as CPR level “A” in which candidates will only learn CPR techniques for adult and child victims. Candidates can also opt for a higher level of CPR certification such as CPR level “C” for health care providers.

Workplace Approved Certification Awards

All standard first aid courses, if provided through a credible provider, meet Health Canada regulations and standards. Certificates last for 3 years and re-certification courses are available to candidates that want to renew expiring or expired awards. The average standard first aid class takes approximately 16 hours but it is dependent on the skill level of the class, the province in which the course is provided, and ultimately the workplace-approved instructor teaching the course. Included in the training is knowledge and skill in the use of automated external defibrillators (AED) which drastically increase the chances of survival for patients that require CPR. Learn a variety of skills and comprehensive first aid and CPR by taking a standard first aid course. To register for a class view our standard first aid course location page.
