Standard First Aid, CPR-C/AED: Certification & Recertification

Standard First Aid Certification Courses

Standard First Aid provides comprehensive training covering all aspects of first aid and CPR. Standard First Aid incorporates all of Emergency First Aid and is designed for those who require a more in-depth understanding of first aid including: legal implications of first aid treatment, spinal injuries, heat or cold injuries, bone and joint injuries, chest injuries, and medical emergencies. Includes CPR-C certification.

The first aid program is not restricted to aquatic candidates. You can use the Lifesaving Society’s first aid awards to train non-aquatic staff (camp, playground, maintenance, etc.) and the general public.

This SFA certification needs to be recertified every three years.

 

Recertification of Standard First Aid Certification Courses

Course is designed to recertify participants’ Lifesaving Standard First Aid with CPR-C and AED. Your original certification or last full-cert SFA qualification cannot be expired and it must be from the Lifesaving Society. If your LSS SFA is expired (more than 3 years from the initial certification date), candidates must do a 2-day Full-cert SFA course. Note: Those who have SFA certifications from the Red Cross, St. John’s Ambulance, Canadian Ski Patrol or a Paramedic Service, CAN NOT recertify in this course. This is for Lifesaving Society SFA recertification ONLY. ** Proof of your last LSS SFA certification is required. This is a RECERT course **

Holders of Standard First Aid certificates from other agencies may not recertify their certificate on a Lifesaving Society recertification course. They may recertify only with the original certifying agency.
