In today’s fast-paced world, finding time to fit in professional training can be a challenge. Between work, family, and personal commitments, many people struggle to set aside two full days for traditional in-class Canadian Red Cross First Aid and CPR training. That’s where the Blended First Aid & CPR Training comes into play!
What is Blended First Aid Training?
Blended training combines 4-6 hours online learning at your own pace with one day of in-person, hands-on training. This allows you to complete the theory portion of the course from the comfort of your home or office, on your own schedule. Once you’ve completed the online modules, you attend a single in-class day to practice essential skills with a Red Cross experienced instructor.
Why It’s Ideal for Busy People
- Flexibility to Learn Anytime, Anywhere
Instead of sitting in a classroom for two straight days, you can work through the online portion whenever it fits your schedule. In the evening, on a lunch break, or on the weekend. Your pace, your way! - One Day Off Instead of Two
Traditional first aid courses often require two full days in class. With the blended learning, you only need to commit to one in-person day, which means fewer disruptions to your work and personal responsibilities. - Hands-On Skills That Matter
First aid is a practical skill, and the blended model ensures you still get the essential hands-on training. During the in-class day, you’ll practice CPR, AED use, choking procedures, and other life-saving techniques under the guidance of a Red Cross instructor. - The Best of Both Worlds
By combining independent study with live practice, blended training strikes the perfect balance between convenience and competence. You’ll finish the course feeling prepared, confident, and certified, without sacrificing too much time out of your busy schedule. - Does the Blended Standard First Aid and CPR/ AED still meet WSIB and CSA standards?
YES! The Canadian Red Cross Blended Standard First Aid and Blended Emergency First Aid training programs fully meet both WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) and CSA (Canadian Standards Association) guidelines. When you successfully complete a course with SOS First Aid, you will receive a Canadian Red Cross certification card that clearly notes compliance with CSA standards, ensuring your training is recognized and approved for workplace and personal requirements.
