CPR level “A” and AED

Learn the latest rescue techniques by taking workplace approved CPR courses in Victoria.

CPR level “A”, also known as CPR for basic life support, is the shortest and most basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. This CPR course is taken by individuals that want to only learn the basic skills of CPR and that will work primarily with adults. Some students are also required to take this course. Participants will learn basic CPR skills to recognize and treat adult patients. Participants will also discover how to recognize and give proper care for patients with respiratory emergencies that include full and partial obstructions (choking). This course is a 3 to 4 hour program that provides successful participants with a CPR and AED certificate that is valid and current for 36 months. This certificate is valid throughout Canada and meets several Health Canada, legislative, academic and workplace requirements. No re-certification courses are available for CPR level “A” and candidates must re-take the course to renew certification.

 CPR level “C” and AED

The most famous and without doubt one of the most detailed cardiopulmonary resuscitation courses is CPR level C. This course encompasses the content featured in cardiopulmonary resuscitation “A” and can serve a substitute for the CPR “A” certificate. Candidates will learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation and AED techniques for adult, infant and child victims. This program is a little lengthier in comparison to CPR level A and costs a little more. Re-certification courses are available for CPR level “C”. Visit the CPR “C” re-certification page to see if you are eligible for a workplace approved renewal course.

CPR level “HCP” and AED

CPR “HCP” incorporates all of the content of CPR “A” and “C” and adds additional education with the use of advanced equipment and trained bystanders. This CPR course, sometimes referred to as CPR level “C” for health care providers, takes approximately 6 hours to complete. Participants that complete this program will receive a certificate stating completion of CPR and AED training at a “HCP” level. This is the highest level of CPR certification we have available via the workplace approved. Re-certification courses are available for CPR “HCP”.
