Overview:
A First Aid certification is one of the most practical and widely recognized additions to Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) programs across Ontario. In any workplace, community space, or home environment, knowing how to respond confidently in an emergency is a valuable skill. This certification introduces students to the fundamentals of providing initial support to someone who is injured or unwell until professional medical care is available.
First Aid training helps students understand how to stay calm, assess situations safely, and take appropriate steps based on established guidelines. Participants learn essential concepts related to recognizing common emergencies, understanding when to seek additional help, and knowing how to respond responsibly while maintaining personal safety. The emphasis is on awareness, preparedness, and building confidence in responding to unexpected situations in everyday environments.
Through clear explanations, demonstrations, and scenario-based activities, students deepen their understanding of how First Aid plays a crucial role in workplaces, community settings, recreational environments, and at home. This certification helps learners become more capable, aware, and supportive members of their school and community.
