Why Hands-On CPR Training is Essential – Holmes Safety Training

In Canada, there is no "online-only" CPR certification recognized by the WSIB and Regulation 1101. Hands-on training is a critical component of any CPR course, ensuring participants gain the skills and confidence needed to respond effectively in real-life emergencies. At Holmes Safety Training, we offer a WSIB-approved blended CPR Level C with AED training course that combines online theory with in-person practical training.

​

The Importance of Hands-On CPR Training

While online courses provide valuable theoretical knowledge, hands-on training is essential for mastering the physical skills required to perform CPR. During in-person sessions, participants:

• Practice chest compressions and rescue breaths on training manikins.

• Learn to use an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) effectively.

• Receive personalized feedback from certified instructors to correct techniques and build confidence.

This combination of theory and practical skills ensures you’re prepared to act decisively in emergencies.

Our blended learning course reduces in-person training time by allowing students to complete the theory portion online at their own pace. The in-person practical session focuses on hands-on skill development, ensuring you meet WSIB and Regulation 1101 requirements.
