Our training partners proudly offer workplace-approved CPR re-certification courses. These courses are designed for candidates that need to renew expiring or previously expired CPR certificates. Renewal courses are significantly shorter and cheaper than the original full courses. Candidates who successfully complete a workplace-approved re-cert course will receive a certificate that is of equal value to the original course certificate. Certification is valid for 3 years and meets government and legislative standards for most provinces.
The following CPR certificates can be re-certified through a workplace-approved renewal course:
- CPR level “A” and AED
- CPR level “C” and AED
- CPR level “C” for health care providers, also known as CPR “HCP” and AED.

Certificates obtained through online CPR courses are not available for re-certification. Re-certification of other agencies’ certifications is not possible in Ontario.
