What is the difference between EMERGENCY and STANDARD first aid?

Hi, for a job I want to apply for it requires one to have Emergency First Aid and CPR level "C". However, the place I am getting my first aid from has the following seminars: "Emergency First Aid and Level A CPR", and "Standard First Aid and Level C CPR". I was just wondering what is the difference between them, and which one is better to take in my case? So do I have to get the seperate CPR Level "C"?

1. Emergency is life or death i think and Standard first aids is like a school nurse.. idk like wrapping a arm up or something... but Emergency is def life or Death
2. Emergency First Aid is life saving and Standard First Aid is non-life threatening (like splinting a fracture). You need Emergency First Aid and Level A CPR.
3. Standard is putting a band aid or split on an injury. Emergency means saving a life. Your job description is self explanatory.
