In order to qualify for a recertification course, 3 things MUST be true:

1. You must have a current (valid) certification with the Canadian Red Cross. Yes, we will check.

2. You MUST have taken the full certification course last time.

How do I know if I’ve taken the full certification course?

Under your name on your card, if you took the full certification course last time, it will say : “is certified in” under the line your name is written on.

3. You must complete your recertification course BEFORE your certificate expires. Even if your card is expired by one day, it means you no longer qualify. Book early!
