Why First Aid & CPR Training Matters

First aid and CPR skills can mean the difference between life and death for a loved one, co-worker, or even a stranger. By taking a first aid or CPR course, you’ll gain the skills and confidence needed to assess emergencies and take critical, life-saving action.

Many lives are lost or permanently affected because bystanders lacked basic first aid knowledge or didn’t recognize emergency symptoms in time. Cardiovascular disease—including heart attacks, strokes, and angina—is the leading cause of death in Canada. Our first aid courses teach you how to identify and treat these emergencies, improving survival rates and making a real impact.

Hands-On Training with Certified Instructors

Effective first aid training isn’t just about theory—it’s about practical, hands-on learning. Our courses provide interactive training with experienced instructors, allowing you to practice CPR on mannequins and learn to use AED devices properly.

While online courses can teach you the theoretical side of first aid, they lack the hands-on experience needed to build real-life skills. That’s why we recommend training with St. Mark James, Canada’s leading provider of high-quality, in-person first aid & CPR training for over 20 years.
