First Aid and CPR

Standard First Aid and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) skills are required for those who may be required to respond to emergencies while on placement. In order to meet provincial workplace WSIB standards, First Aid and CPR training must only be from one of the following recognized training providers in Ontario: Red Cross, Perri-med or St. John’s Ambulance providers. Student’s that have completed their First Aid Training with a different WSIB provider prior to Oct. 10, 2025 will not be prevented from attending their placement so long as their certification can be verified.

Online first aid/CPR courses or online renewal courses will NOT be accepted as students are expected to have practical, hands-on knowledge. Blended delivery (online and in class) and renewal courses are accepted.

First Aid and CPR training from the National CPR Foundation is not accepted. Please do not book your training with this organization.

*Please Note: ACLS, BLS or HCP certificate meets the CPR requirement only, Standard First Aid certification is additionally required.  

Please submit certification to Synergy, unless you have been otherwise directed.
