CPR training is included with all first aid courses. Certification cards are issued to students who successfully complete these courses. The Heart and Stroke Foundation recommends annual retraining as CPR is an important life skill. Individuals who have taken a CPR course qualify to take retraining courses anytime thereafter.
The following is a list of available CPR Courses:

CPR Instructor
We have created a comprehensive program to develop CPR Instructors to deliver CERT and Heart and Stroke Foundation CPR Courses. Candidates enter our comprehensive Instructor Development Program, designed to prepare them to support dynamic, learner-centered classroom environments. This involves several steps first they must achieve current Standard CPR certification in CPR through CERT. Second, they must complete our online requirement (knowledge, theory, and fundamentals of instruction). The third is to complete the classroom component (skills and evaluation of skills). Last candidates are monitored on the delivery of their own program. They are also welcome to co-teach our program before monitoring.

Our organization has been using CERT for 18 years to deliver our first aid and CPR training and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. We have been so happy with the service we have received.
- Matt
Our organization consists of people with varying backgrounds from Nurses and doctors to engineers and electricians. We love how CERT is able to provide a training that meets everyone's needs. Thanks
- Harish
CERT was able to create scenarios that were specific to possible accidents that would take place in our workplace. We practice these scenarios in class. One day an accident took place where I was required to use my first aid skills. I was able to respond with confidence and in turn, provided treatment to care for a casualty (and save their limb).
