All online CPR courses aren’t made equal.

The Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) mandates hands-on practice as a key component of first aid training.

Online-only courses lack this critical element, making them ineligible for WSIB approval—and therefore unusable in the workplace.

Don't waste time on free or online-only providers; choose training that meets WSIB standards.

Our Red Cross blended courses offer the best of both worlds: flexibility and convenience of online learning while still providing the quality control and skills development that’s mandated by the WSIB.

Bridging Theory and Practice: The Value of Real-World First Aid Skills

Interactive Learning Enhances Knowledge Retention

In a classroom setting, participants benefit from:

  • Live feedback from instructors, correcting mistakes in real-time.

  • Collaborative scenarios, working with peers to simulate real-life emergencies.

  • Dynamic Q&A sessions, clarifying uncertainties immediately. This level of engagement fosters better understanding and recall—skills you’ll rely on in critical moments.

Real-World Skills Require Real-World Practice

First aid isn’t just about knowing what to do: it’s about being able to do it, confidently and effectively, under pressure. Hands-on training allows participants to:

  • Practice CPR on mannequins, simulating the resistance of a real chest.

  • Apply bandages, splints, and slings, ensuring proper technique.

  • Learn to use AED machines with the guidance of an instructor. These tactile experiences build muscle memory and instill confidence, which can be the difference between life and death in an emergency.

Don’t compromise on safety

Choose WSIB-approved first aid training for your team.

Protect Your Team and Meet Regulatory Standards

Choosing WSIB-approved first aid training ensures your workplace is fully compliant with Ontario regulations. More importantly, it means your team is equipped with the practical skills they need to respond effectively in emergencies.

While online components can complement in-person learning, they cannot replace the hands-on practice required for WSIB approval. At Ally First Aid, we specialize in delivering first aid training that meets these high standards, blending engaging instruction with practical application to build real confidence.
