First Aid & CPR Training Comes to Windsor: Preparing for Security Work in Ontario
Last Updated on Sep 16, 2026
Completing your required training is an important part of becoming a security guard in Ontario — but preparing for the job also means developing skills you may need when you're actually working in the field.
First Aid and CPR are an important part of that preparation.
At Ontario Guard Training, our 40-hour online security guard training program helps aspiring guards build the knowledge and skills they need as they work toward becoming licensed in Ontario.
Now, security guard candidates in Windsor and Southwestern Ontario also have convenient access to hands-on First Aid and CPR training.
One4All First Aid & CPR has opened its newest Ontario training location in Windsor, providing First Aid, CPR, and AED courses at:
CAW Student Centre, Room 206
401 Sunset Avenue, Windsor, ON N9B 3P4
For aspiring security guards, it's another opportunity to build the combination of knowledge and practical skills that helps prepare you for a career in the industry.
From Security Guard Training to Working in the Field
Before you can apply for your Ontario security guard licence, you must complete the required 40-hour Ontario security guard training course.
That training introduces you to important aspects of the profession and helps prepare you for the Ontario security guard licence exam.
But passing an exam isn't the end goal.
The goal is to be prepared to work as a security guard.
Depending on your eventual assignment, you might work in a shopping centre, office building, industrial facility, residential property, construction site, healthcare environment or at a major event.
Every environment is different, but one thing they have in common is the potential for unexpected situations.
First Aid Is a Practical Security Skill
Imagine you're working a shift and someone suddenly collapses.
Or an employee is injured. A visitor begins choking. Someone becomes unresponsive and an AED is nearby.
What happens next?
Security personnel are often highly visible and accessible. During an emergency, you may be among the first people nearby who can recognize what's happening, contact emergency services, and provide assistance.
That's where First Aid and CPR training becomes more than another certification.
It gives you practical skills for responding to situations you could encounter during a real security shift.
First Aid and Ontario Security Guard Training
First Aid also has an important place in Ontario's security guard training pathway.
Ontario has mandatory training requirements for individuals preparing to take the provincial security guard licence test, and candidates should understand the First Aid requirements that apply to their training.
If you're beginning the licensing process, planning your training can make the process easier.
Complete your required security guard education, make sure you hold the appropriate First Aid certification, and understand the remaining steps required before applying for your licence.
For candidates in Windsor, One4All's new location makes accessing First Aid and CPR training locally more convenient.
First Aid & CPR Courses Now Available in Windsor
One4All offers several training and recertification options at its new Windsor location:

Current dates and course availability can be found on the One4All Windsor training page.
Practise Before You Need the Skills
Knowing what CPR stands for isn't the same as knowing what it feels like to perform it.
The same is true of using an AED or responding to someone who is choking.
One4All courses incorporate hands-on training and live demonstrations, allowing students to practise emergency-response skills before they're ever faced with using them in a real situation.
That hands-on experience complements security guard training particularly well.
Security work often requires calm decision-making, communication and situational awareness. When a medical emergency is added to the situation, having practised your response beforehand can help you feel more prepared to take appropriate action.
One4All's courses are WSIB-approved and follow current best practices.
Not Sure Which First Aid Course You Need?
Your training needs will depend on your circumstances, including the certification you already hold and the requirements applicable to your security guard training.
Before registering, make sure you select the appropriate First Aid course for your needs.
One4All's First Aid & CPR Training Guide provides additional information about course types, certification and choosing the right program.
