CPR and AED training and certification
Thunder Bay First Aid has three levels of CPR training: A, C, and HCP. The first two are for first time trainees. A includes adult CPR and AED while C includes adult and pediatric CPR and AED training. HCP is targeted at health care providers and professionals, including both adult and pediatric CPR and AED training. These levels are available throughout the week, 4, 5 and 6 hours long respectively.
CPR and AED training teaches students how to perform adequate chest compressions and how to use an automated external defibrillator. AEDs are used to supply the heart with needed shock in case of a cardiac arrest.
To pass a class, students need to have at least 75 percent on the written exam, demonstrate good CPR and AED skills, and have complete attendance. After passing a program or class, a student is awarded a St Mark James certificate card. The certificate is valid for three years and renewable through recertification programs. Recertification for CPR C and HCP is available twice in a week, lasting for 4 hours.
