Traumatic first aid maneuvers should be reserved for those who need them, and preferably performed under the supervision of a licensed professional.
  • The Académie Saint-Bernard disclaims all liability for any loss or damage, whether in contract or tort, under local, state or federal law, resulting from the use of or reliance on the training materials, performed at your own risk.

It is essential to emphasize that any inappropriate use of this data may result in the revocation of a certification issued by our establishment.

This is to guarantee the integrity of users' personal data and to preserve the validity of any certification obtained within our institution.
  • It should be noted that the first and last names on a certificate cannot be modified from the user account.

In the event of confirmed or suspected non-compliance with the terms and conditions, the Academy reserves the right to revoke the candidate's certificate without notice, or to require a complete re-take of the course. Should the candidate refuse to repeat the training as requested, the Academy reserves the right to revoke the certificate without notice and without right to reimbursement.
  • First-aid training material should not be the only source of information when performing a first-aid procedure; other opinions should be sought. Before taking any action that could result in injury, damage or even death, it is imperative to call 911 and follow the instructions of the emergency medical dispatcher.
  • The certificate of completion attests that the candidate has successfully completed all modules of the training course(s). The role of the Académie Saint-Bernard is to educate the candidate in accordance with the latest scientific guidelines, making reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy and validity of the material, in line with national first aid requirements.

  • The printed certificate may differ from the image displayed on the website and is intended to certify that, to the best of the purchaser's knowledge, the purchaser has successfully completed one or more of Académie Saint-Bernard's online training courses. The Académie has made reasonable and good faith efforts to ensure that the candidate has passed his/her certification in a legal and honest manner, without any act of cheating.
  • The candidate will be able to administer CPR, with or without AED, DVR, medical and trauma first aid, in a real emergency in accordance with the certification passed. However, the Academy does not guarantee, either explicitly or implicitly, that its certification will comply with user or third-party requirements or standards. The customer is solely responsible for compliance with employer requirements and regulations.
  • A detailed course syllabus is available for each training course. If an employer requires a practical exam, it is the candidate's responsibility to contact an Académie Saint-Bernard representative to conduct the exam via video discussion.
  • As part of our commitment to the quality and integrity of our certifications, Académie Saint-Bernard reserves the right to make random telephone calls to holders of certifications issued by our institution. This is to verify the legitimacy of the certifications awarded and to maintain the high standards of our programs. In the event of non-cooperation or contradictory information, Académie Saint-Bernard reserves the right to take any necessary action, including cancellation of the certification concerned.
