If you need any form of certification for CPR, first aid, and safety, St. Mark James Training Fort McMurray is your best choice for training.

About training and certification

All of the programs we offer a credentialing programs that award students with certificates once they complete training. CPR credentials and hydrogen sulfide awareness certificate expire after three years, while credentials from safety programs taken online as well as food safe classes do not expire at all. Food safe certificates are required by provincial legislation to be updated every 5 years.

Before your credential expires, you can choose to sign up for a re-certification program (shorter  than the regular training programs). Remember to sign up before your certificate expires because expired certificates will not be honored. If the expiration date has passed, the rescuer will have to retake the full program.
