Can I Just Take First Aid Training Without CPR?
No, Alberta OH&S requires that all OH&S approved providers must teach CPR training in conjunction with the standard first aid course. Part of first aid is learning what to do if someone is unconscious and not breathing and in that scenario the rescuer must incorporate CPR.
Can I Get My OH&S Approved Certificate from an Entirely Online Course?
No, you can not get an OH&S approved certificate without attending at least half of the course in person. First Aid and CPR training involves a lot of skills which you can’t get corrected or learn entirely online. Practice makes perfect hence you need a manikin and an instructor to look over your skills.
