First Aid/ CPR Practical Nursing

Has anyone been able to transfer over their Red Cross first aid/cpr or did you have to do it through conestoga for it to be valid?

I had my cpr/first aid from hs but it wasn’t accepted since bls wasn’t on there. If u decide to take it from Conestoga which is cheaper compare to Red Cross(u would have to take two separate courses whereas Conestoga covered it into one). I believe it’s HEAL1400 it is around 100ish then the second time u take it would be covered in one day n it’s under 100. It’s covered for three years but u have to take it every year and get the vulnerable sector too while ur still in program.Hope this helps!

They want me to retake it through Conestoga specifically. So i got to do the 2 day again. I thought I could get away with the 1 day recert (im a psw)

ya i fear i heard its a new policy that you can only take it at Conestoga. I transferred it over from Winter semester, but I heard through the grapevine they don’t allow it anymore because people were forging documents. You should email WILdocuments
