First-aid & CPR training is mandatory for child care professionals; but unlike most other types of safety training, these skills and knowledge are also applicable to every individual’s daily life.

The Canadian Red Cross developed this course to help child care facilities be compliant with both federal and provincial/territorial occupational health and safety legislations. Most importantly, this course is designed for parents and family members who want to offer the safest environment for their children.
