Workplace Safety and Insurance Board of Ontario (WSIB) Standard First Aid (SFA) Recertification Policy:

​

Your certificate is valid for 3 years but you must recertify within 2 years to get the recertification deal. If your SFA certification is older than three years, WSIB requires that you take the full course (not a recert) again.

​

WSIB specifies that SFA award holders may recertify just once on a SFA recertification course. To renew a SFA certification subsequently, WSIB requires you to repeat the full course. Thereafter, you may renew by alternating recertifications and original courses.

​

Holders of Standard First Aid certificates must recertify only with the original certifying agency.

As we certify under the Lifesaving Society all award holders who have previously taken a SFA course with a Lifesaving Society affiliate organization may take the recertification course with us.

The name of the agency which has previously provided you with certifications is printed on the cards. 

​

If a customer has previously certified with another agency (e.g red-cross, St. Johns Ambulance, Rescue 7 etc.) the candidate will need to undertake the full course with us. 

​

To compensate our clients in this situation we offer the candidate the full course at the price of a recertification course.
