“When seconds count, knowledge saves lives. Are you prepared?”

Every year, over 40,000 Canadians suffer cardiac arrest outside a hospital. The difference between survival and tragedy is often a trained bystander — someone exactly like you. This course transforms everyday workers into confident first responders, covering the critical skills you need to act immediately when it matters most.

What You Will Learn

• Master the DRSABC emergency framework used by every Canadian first responder
• Perform high-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants — with correct depth, rate, and hand placement
• Operate an AED (defibrillator) with confidence — the device that can restart a stopped heart
• Recognize and respond to heart attacks, strokes, choking, severe bleeding, and shock
• Understand Good Samaritan legislation and your legal protection when helping in an emergency
• Meet workplace first aid requirements under provincial OHS regulations and OSHA standards

Who This Course Is For:  Mandatory for all Alberta workplaces. Essential for anyone who wants to be prepared — at work, at home, or anywhere emergencies can happen.

Why It Matters:  Bystander CPR doubles or triples cardiac arrest survival rates. Within 4 minutes of cardiac arrest, brain damage begins. EMS response time averages 8–12 minutes. The gap between those numbers is your training.
