We offer Intermediate First Aid (formerly Standard First Aid), Basic First Aid (formerly Emergency First Aid), CPR C, CPR BLS, and CPR A. These courses serve everyday people and trades that need certification.
Para CPR & First Aid is your trusted partner in emergency preparedness training in Mississauga, Brampton, and Toronto. Our mission is to provide engaging, practical, and economical blended courses tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals, families, students, and businesses. We have the best First Aid and CPR instructors - all Real Paramedics - making us stand out from other training providers.
At Para CPR & First Aid, we combine real-world experience with convenience and affordability.
Our courses are led by Real Paramedic Instructors. These professionals not only 'walk the walk' but are passionate about imparting their knowledge and experience. This ensures you receive practical training from those who face emergencies daily.
The short answer is - probably CPR C. You should choose CPR BLS if you're in healthcare or you're a professional first responder.
CPR C will train and certify you on Adult, Child, Infant, and 2-Person CPR plus AED use.
CPR A will only train and certify you on Adult-only CPR & AED use.
We recommend Intermediate First Aid (formerly Standard First Aid).
Intermediate First Aid is longer and more complete. Most workplaces ask for it.
Basic First Aid (formerly Emergency First Aid) is shorter. It covers fewer scenarios. Some workplaces still ask for it by the old name.
Under Ontario Reg 1101 and WSIB, Basic First Aid equals Emergency First Aid. Intermediate First Aid equals Standard First Aid. Certificates issued under the old names stay valid until they expire.
Choose Intermediate First Aid unless you only need the shorter, lower-cost path for a minimum workplace rule.
Connect with us and we'll be happy to answer any questions you might have & help you with your cerification goals.
"Been to 3 prior CPR First Aid training over the years. This one by far was the best! Cam was a fantastic, interactive and informative trainer, with a good sense of humour. We felt very confident. Highly recommended!"
