Online CPR Training & Certification

Blended Learning · Self-Paced Theory · In-Person Skills

CPR training online certification provides a flexible way to complete the theory portion of your training before attending the required in-person skills session. Toronto CPR provides blended training that combines self-paced online learning with face-to-face practical training. This format allows you to complete the online component before attending the classroom portion, where you demonstrate the required skills.

How Online CPR Training Works

Toronto CPR's online courses use a blended learning format, meaning the complete training is not conducted online. This hybrid approach gives you the flexibility to learn theory at your own pace while ensuring you still receive essential hands-on practice.

The process generally involves:

  1. Register for the blended course that matches your training requirements.
  2. Complete the online component before your scheduled classroom session.
  3. Attend the in-person skills session with a certified instructor.
  4. Demonstrate practical skills and complete the knowledge evaluation.
  5. Receive certification after meeting all course completion requirements.

Participants receive access to the online component after registration and must complete it before attending the in-person portion.
