How Do You Know If the Training You're Taking Is Valid in Ontario?
2. Course Format: In-Class and Blended Only
No Online-Only Courses: WSIB does not approve any online-only first aid or CPR courses. The training must include an in-person component to ensure practical, hands-on experience. There are two acceptable formats for WSIB-approved courses:
Fully In-Class: These courses are conducted entirely in a classroom setting, providing direct interaction with instructors and hands-on practice with first aid equipment.
Blended Courses: Blended courses combine online learning with in-class sessions. Typically, the theoretical components are completed online at your own pace, followed by practical, hands-on training in a classroom setting.
