In the age of the Internet and constantly evolving technological innovation, access to information has never been so democratized.

The benefits of e-learning
Better retention of information
Various studies have shown that e-learning can provide an alternative to traditional courses, with equivalent or even superior assimilation and retention of information. E-learning offers a variety of pedagogical resources, such as videos and interactive simulations, as well as the opportunity to progress autonomously. This means that learners can explore these resources at their own pace and at a time that suits them best, thus fostering a good understanding of the concepts presented. In addition, thanks to the individual and flexible nature of the online formula, learners can take the time they need to fully understand difficult topics and revisit specific notions at their leisure.
Individualized control of learning pace
The pace of online learning can vary according to a number of factors, including the learning context, the characteristics of the virtual platform and the learning preferences of each individual student. However, without the constraint of having to adapt to the pace of a classroom teacher, e-learning offers a flexible pace of learning that encourages generally faster progress. Learners can therefore personalize their learning experience to suit their individual needs.
Individualized control of the learning environment
E-learning gives people the autonomy to choose when and where they want to study. In short, whether in the comfort of their living room, in a café-bistro, or anywhere else with an Internet connection, learners can access their course at any time. In this way, everyone can create their own learning environment conducive to better information retention.
Individualized, non-judgmental assimilation
Unlike a traditional course, if the learner needs help to fully understand certain concepts, the online course allows them to ask questions and ask for help without fear of peer judgment. This encourages more open and reassuring learning, promoting active participation and deeper understanding.
Uniformity of content
In a traditional classroom course, information may be presented differently from one lesson to the next due to the teacher's wording and interpretation. In contrast, Saint-Bernard Academy's online courses offer uniformity of delivery. Learners therefore receive consistent and accurate information, ensuring a standardized understanding of CPR and first aid practices.
Progress and success tracking
With the online course portal, learners can track their progress throughout the course. The same applies to managers who have registered members of their organization. This includes participation dates, time spent and exam results. Furthermore, since online training progress is saved, the learner is not required to complete the course in a single session. This avoids exhaustion, which progressively diminishes the ability to retain information.
Accessibility and savings
The autonomy offered by personalized management of the learning pace and environment means that learners can complete their training without having to disrupt their schedule. In other words, rather than having to adapt to a course schedule, the learner adapts the course to their schedule. This eliminates the need to take time off work or set aside specific times in the schedule. In addition, online courses save money by reducing the cost of travel, textbooks and other related expenses.
In summary
CPR and First Aid e-learning with Saint-Bernard Academy offers a flexible learning experience, tailored to each individual, with a variety of teaching resources promoting better assimilation of information and significant cost savings. This helps learners acquire essential CPR and first aid skills in an efficient and flexible way.
