CPR Training Explained: Levels, Certification, and What You Need

What Is CPR Training?

CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) training teaches participants how to respond to cardiac arrest and breathing emergencies. CPR courses often include AED use, which has become a critical part of emergency response in Canada.

CPR Certification Levels in Canada

Common CPR training levels include:

  • CPR/AED Level A: Adult CPR only
  • CPR/AED Level C: Adult, child, and infant CPR
  • BLS (Basic Life Support): Advanced CPR for healthcare professionals

Many workplaces and professions require CPR Level C or BLS certification.

Why CPR Training Is Essential

Cardiac arrest can happen anywhere — gyms, offices, shopping centres, and homes. Immediate CPR:

  • Keeps oxygen flowing to the brain
  • Increases survival chances
  • Buys critical time until emergency services arrive
