Before registering, be sure to check your industry/employer requirements. 

They will likely say specifically that you need “Standard First Aid” or they may just say “First Aid and CPR Training”. It is best to clarify exactly which course they require, as “First Aid and CPR training” could mean Standard First Aid and CPR/AED Level C, or it could mean Emergency First Aid training. 

Typically for PSWs, child care workers, or if you are working for a large company, you will need the full Standard First Aid and CPR/AED Level C program. This is the course that most people need for work.

If you typically work on your own (for example, if you are a security guard) you may only need Emergency First Aid.
