First Aid & CPR for Nursing Students

Nursing programs move fast — and certification requirements arrive early. Colleges and universities typically require current first aid and CPR/AED certification before you set foot on a placement site, and the required level varies by program.

What To Know

Before you book

Check your program letter first

Your program or placement letter sets the exact requirement (level, and whether a specific CPR level is named). If the wording is ambiguous, ask your program coordinator — or contact us and we’ll help you interpret it.

Many programs expect the comprehensive level

Intermediate First Aid + CPR/AED is the level many healthcare programs expect; some accept Basic. The letter is the authority.

Blended delivery fits clinical life

Finish theory online between shifts and classes; complete your practical in one focused in-person session.

Requirements differ by employer, college, placement and professional institution — no two organizations ask for exactly the same thing. Confirm the certification level your organization requires before booking. If their wording is unclear (or uses the old Emergency/Standard course names), contact us and we\u2019ll help you match it.

FAQ — Nursing Students

My program letter says "Standard First Aid" — what do I book?

That’s the former name for Intermediate First Aid. Book Intermediate First Aid + CPR/AED, and keep your letter in case it names a specific CPR level.

When should I get certified?

Before your placement start date — programs commonly require proof of current certification in advance. Blended delivery lets you finish theory online now and book the practical that fits your schedule.
