CPR-BLS for healthcare · CPR only, no first aid
CPR & AED
The course to book for CPR-BLS, the healthcare level, when your program or College asks for BLS on its own, or your first aid is still valid and only your CPR-BLS needs renewing. CPR-A and CPR-C run on it too, at the same price.
- Healthcare and dental programs that require CPR-BLS only
- Renewing your yearly BLS while your first aid is current
- Employers or facilities whose policy specifies a CPR level

Do you also need first aid? This course is CPR on its own. If your program or employer asks for first aid as well, book Intermediate First Aid & CPR and choose your CPR level there, BLS included.
Renewing a current certificate
Recertification
A shorter session to renew your certification before it expires. Available for Intermediate First Aid & CPR.
- You hold a valid first aid certificate that hasn’t expired yet
- You need to renew for work, a program, or a placement
- Any WSIB-approved provider’s valid certificate is eligible, so you’re not tied to where you first trained
- You took the full course last time, because recertification alternates with certification

Recertification requires a currently valid certificate, and applies once per certificate. The cycle alternates between a full certification and a recertification. If yours has expired, or you recertified last time, it’s the full course. Not sure where you are in the cycle? We’ll work it out with you.
Which CPR level do I need?
Every course lets you choose your CPR level at checkout, and BLS is offered on all but Basic First Aid. If nobody has told you which, this is the usual guide, but always confirm with your employer, school or program. If you cannot find out, choose BLS where it is offered: we can move you down a level in class, but not up.
CPR-A
Adult CPR and AED. The basic level, suitable where only adult response is needed.
CPR-C
Adult, child and infant CPR and AED. The most common choice, and usually what childcare, education and general workplaces ask for.
CPR-BLS
Basic Life Support, the healthcare-provider level. Required by most nursing, paramedic, dental and clinical-placement programs.
BLS renews every year, not every three. Taking it with a first aid course issues two certificates: a CPR-BLS certificate on a one year cycle, and your first aid certificate, valid 3 years, which shows CPR level C.
