Training Courses

There are three CPR training course levels to choose from: A, C, and HCP. All include CPR and AED for adult victims, while C and HCP also include CPR and AED for child victims. Basic first aid for choking and bleeding injuries is also included.

Training courses use the American Heart Association’s Basic Life Support (BLS) guidelines in teaching trainees how to rescue victims of cardiac arrest. Studies have shown that immediate chest compressions following a collapse have increased the survival rates of victims. The main steps in the updated BLS guidelines are “push hard” and “push fast” – regarding chest compressions.

Stand-alone basic first aid classes are also offered by Ottawa First Aid. Trainees are taught a number of first aid skills to help themselves or others in emergency situations. One of the most common requested topics are choking emergencies.

Basic and comprehensive first aid training is divided into either one day or two day courses. Check with your employer or school to determine which school you need. Customer service representatives at Ottawa First Aid can also help determine which is the right course for you.

    Some tips on choking

    • If you are choking, do your best to stay calm.
    • If people are around you, try your best to get their attention by grabbing your throat and showing them you are choking.
    • If you can cough forcefully, try to remove the obstruction by coughing.
    • If you can no longer cough and nobody is around to provide you with help you can use abdominal thrusts on yourself.
