Description
Participants must have a
Lifesaving Society Standard First Aid certification to register for this course. If the certification is older than 3 years from the original certification date the participant MUST take a full two day course in accordance with the Ontario Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) rules. The Ontario Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) specifies that Standard First Aid (SFA) award holders may recertify just once on a SFA recertification course. To renew a SFA certification subsequently, WSIB requires you to repeat the full course. Thereafter, you may renew by alternating recertifications and original courses. Materials may be purchased at the facility ( Canadian First Aid Manual).
Course Length: 8 hrs.
NEW - Proof of Identity: Lifesaving Society requires all candidates taking this course—whether for the first time or as a recertification—to verify their identity on the first day.
Acceptable forms of ID. Candidates must present valid and current government-issued photo identification that includes their name and date of birth. Acceptable forms of ID include:
- Driver’s license,
- Passport, health card (with photo),
- Permanent resident card,
- Citizenship card,
- Certificate of Indian Status, or
- Ontario Photo Card.
Note: If a candidate cannot provide one of these, they may instead present a birth certificate or health card (even without a photo), along with a
completed attestation from someone 18 or older—such as a parent or guardian with their acceptable form of ID. (Listed above)
Please remember to bring proof of your prerequisite certifications and valid photo identification on the first day of the course. Unfortunately, without these documents, you won’t be able to continue in the course.
