Candidates can take a 1 day re-certification course on the third year of original certification prior to certification expiry. This session is not for re-teaching first aid or CPR rather just to review the first aid and CPR/AED skills and go over any new techniques that have changed over the past three years in CPR or first aid. We strongly recommend taking a annual CPR/AED refresher course.
