The Academy for First Aid and Safety

The Academy for First Aid and Safety is one of the Greater Toronto Area's leading providers of first aid, CPR and BLS training, with classes in Toronto, Scarborough, Mississauga, Brampton and Barrie, and our head office at 5000 Yonge Street in Toronto. We help individuals, employers, schools, healthcare workers and community groups get certified quickly, affordably and with confidence.

Our courses include Standard First Aid and CPR Level C (Intermediate), Emergency First Aid and CPR Level C (Basic), CPR Level C and AED, Basic Life Support (BLS) for healthcare providers, the combined Standard First Aid and CPR Level C with BLS package, and recertification programs for returning students. Most courses use a blended format — online learning at your own pace plus a hands-on in-class session — so you spend less time in the classroom without giving up real practice on real equipment.

What sets us apart is speed and quality. Your certificate is issued the same day, right at the end of your class, before you leave — no waiting weeks for a card to arrive in the mail. Our training is interactive and graphically rich, built around modern presentations, realistic scenarios and plenty of hands-on practice, so the skills stick. Our instructors were the official CPR trainers for Toronto Public Health's 2021 COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

We also bring the training to you, with group and on-site courses for employers, arranged around your schedule. Classes run regularly, including Saturdays, and our team replies within minutes by phone, email or text.

Our training aligns with the 2025 AHA guidelines which sets the standard in North America for first aid and CPR training.
