What Is Blended First Aid Training? (And Why It’s Better)

How It Works — 2 Simple Steps

Blended first aid training is a hybrid format that combines the flexibility of online learning with the hands-on practice you need to respond effectively in an emergency. It is the most popular way to get certified in Ontario because it saves time without compromising quality.

Step 1 — Complete Your Online Theory at Home

After you register, our training team sends your login details within 2 business days. You then complete the full first aid theory component online at your own pace, on any device, from anywhere. Most students finish it in 4 to 6 hours. You can study in the evenings, over a weekend, or during your lunch break.

Step 2 — Attend Your In-Person Skills Day in Newmarket

Choose a date from our calendar and join your instructor at the Newmarket Public Library for a full day of hands-on practice. You will work through every life-saving skill, including CPR on a manikin, AED use, choking response, wound care, and more, with a certified F.A.S.T. Rescue instructor guiding you every step of the way.

That’s it. Two steps. One certificate. Valid for 3 years.

Is Blended First Aid WSIB-Approved?

Workplace first aid training must be delivered by a WSIB-approved provider. F.A.S.T. Rescue’s blended format combines online theory with in-person hands-on skills assessment to meet Ontario workplace first aid training requirements. Online-only courses, however, are not accepted for workplace first aid certification because they do not include a hands-on skills assessment.

F.A.S.T. Rescue’s blended program aligns with the updated WSIB First Aid Program launching on June 22, 2026.

WSIB June 2026 Update — What Newmarket Employers Need to Know

Ontario’s WSIB is launching a modernized First Aid Program on June 22, 2026, aligned with the new national CSA Z1210:24 standard. Here is what is changing, and what is staying the same, for employers in the Newmarket area:

What is changing:

• Course names are changing: Standard First Aid → Intermediate First Aid / Emergency First Aid → Basic First Aid
• Only providers approved under the new WSIB program can issue valid certificates starting June 22, 2026
• A new searchable WSIB provider list is launching with filters for location, language, and delivery method

What is staying the same:

• The underlying employer first aid obligations under Regulation 1101 remain in place.
• Certificates are still valid for 3 years
• All certificates issued before June 22, 2026, remain valid until they expire
• Training must be delivered by a WSIB-approved provider, and the updated program aligns with CSA Z1210:24.

F.A.S.T. Rescue is fully approved under the updated WSIB program. Every certificate we issue—before and after June 22—meets Ontario workplace first aid requirements under WSIB’s program.
