Personal Support Workers – First Aid & CPR Training GTA | First Aid Responder

Who We Train

First Aid & CPR for Personal Support Workers

PSWs work where emergencies happen — clients’ homes, long-term care, retirement residences and community settings. PSW program admission and employment typically require current first aid and CPR/AED certification, and employers often specify the level.

Before you book

Your school or employer’s requirement is the one that counts

Confirm whether they ask for Basic or Intermediate First Aid (they may still use the former names Emergency or Standard First Aid), then book accordingly.

Built around placement and shift schedules

Our blended format means you can finish the theory online around placement and work, and complete your practical in a single focused session.

Working PSWs: watch your expiry date

Ontario workplace first aid certificates are typically valid for three years. Renew before yours lapses — recertification options may apply to Intermediate holders.

FAQ — PSWs

Which course do most PSW programs ask for?

Requirements differ by college and employer. Many specify first aid with CPR/AED at the Intermediate (formerly Standard) level — but your admission letter or employer is the authority. Confirm, then book.

Can I complete training while working?

Yes — that’s exactly what blended delivery is for: online theory on your own time, one in-person practical session.
