First Aid Courses

In the backcountry, on the ski hill, outside the grocery store, driving through town, our courses will teach you what to do in an emergency situation. These courses will teach you how to react to life threatening situations in town or in the depths of the Coast Mountains. With proactive knowledge and safety regulations, most accidents can be prevented. These courses are widely recognized by the outdoor world and these certifications can help you obtain the “job of your dreams” or can allow you the confidence to respond effectively in an emergency.

Our instructors are qualified and experienced professionals who work and play in the community! Paramedics, firefighters, lifeguards and professional guides will help you learn from our extensive knowledge and experience.
