St Mark James offers re-certification courses for almost all of its first aid and CPR courses. These re-certification courses are designed for candidates that need to renew expiring or previously expired awards. Candidates need to meet a set of prerequisites in order to attend a renewal course. Stand-alone CPR re-certification courses (find a re-cert provider near you) are cheaper and shorter than the original CPR course. All CPR renewal courses include training and certification in automated external defibrillators (AED)’s.
CPR Re-Certification Eligibility
To be eligible for a St Mark James CPR re-cert course candidates must have completed a full course or a re-certification course of the same or higher level within the past 3 years. If it has been more than 3 years since the last re-certification course candidates must re-take the full course. Candidates must have completed the previous course through a credible provider. Participants in Ontario must have completed the previous course with a St Mark James provider. The following is a list of the major credible CPR providers in Canada:
- St Mark James Training.
