​

You need no prior medical training to take a Standard First Aid course because our curriculum is designed for beginners.

Standard First Aid CPR Level C with AED is required for any worksite with six or more employees in Ontario, under WSIB regulations. Holmes Medical Training certifications are valid for three years under these regulations.

What to Expect in a First Aid Course

A precautionary warning: First Aid courses include audio-visual material simulating real-life emergencies, which some people may find emotionally distressing.

The in-person practical portion of the course includes many hands-on components, where students are expected to kneel on the floor. It is recommended that students wear loose-fitting, casual clothing during the in-person component of the course. Ideally, students should wear trousers and flat-bottomed shoes.

If you have any medical conditions that may prevent you from completing hands-on demonstrations, please contact Holmes Medical Training before your course. For example, if you have had recent knee surgery and cannot kneel on the ground, we can notify our First Aid instructor that you will be demonstrating CPR on a table instead.
