When a first aid certification from an agency other than the Lifesaving Society is used as a prerequisite for a Lifesaving Society award, a photocopy of the certification card must accompany the Lifesaving Society test sheets. The Society will not issue awards if this proof of prerequisite is missing.
For prerequisite purposes, the Lifesaving Society accepts first aid certifications from approved training agencies for the following:
- Emergency First Aid
- Standard First Aid
- Basic First Aid (CSA Z1210)
- Intermediate First Aid (CSA Z1210)
Accepted training agencies are approved by the Workplace Safety Insurance Board of Ontario (WSIB). You can find a list of
all approved agencies here.
