You will refer to the First Aid & CPR student manual throughout your Canadian Red Cross CPR course. A significant part of your CPR & AED training involves familiarizing yourself with the CPR manual, and learning how to use it as an on the spot guide when you encounter an emergency in your everyday life.

The information in the Canadian Red Cross CPR manual follows the guidelines from the most currently recognized International Liaison Committee on Rescuscitation (ILCOR) and Canadian Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR) recommendations.

Your Canadian Red Cross certified CPR instructor will provide you with a classroom copy of the CPR-AED manual to utilize in your CPR course. You also have the option to purchase a take-home copy, to keep in your home First Aid kit, vehicle glove box, backpack, purse, tool box or desk. You might even decide to buy a few copies to keep in different locations. You can also download a PDF copy of the CPR manual for free, and keep it stored for quick, easy access on your computer, laptop, tablet and smartphone.
