Respond effectively to emergencies
Would you like to be able to respond effectively in an emergency and help someone in danger before first responders arrive? Our first aid and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) courses will teach you how to prevent and recognize signs of a heart attack and stroke as well as intervention techniques for airway obstruction (choking) and cardiac arrest.
By following our training programs, you will learn how to respond appropriately to these situations, perform CPR and use the AED (automatic external defillibrator) as you wait for emergency medical services.
Once you have successfully completed this training, you will receive a certificate from the Lifesaving Society.
These courses are for anyone interested in learning the skills and techniques needed in an emergency. Moreover, participants in our Fitness Instructor Training (FIT) program must obtain Cardiopulmonary resuscitation/AED with Child Module certification.

* To make courses more accessible, First aid training is broken into blocks, allowing students to choose one or more blocks depending on the certification they wish to obtain. You may choose to take the CPR block (for CPR certification) only, the Emergency First Aid blocks or all the blocks for full Standard First Aid certification.
