ABOUT DELTA EMERGENCY SUPPORT TRAINING
Why Delta Emergency Instead of a Basic First Aid Provider
Choosing a first aid provider is not a small decision. You are choosing the level of readiness you will bring into a real emergency. You can settle for a basic certificate, or you can train with the same Paramedics and Firefighters who work the calls you read about.
Most low cost providers teach the minimum. You sit in a chair, touch equipment once, and leave with a certificate that does not hold up under pressure. Life does not care about checklists. Life demands competence.
Delta Emergency teaches for real emergencies. Our instructors are Primary and Advanced Care Paramedics and active Firefighters who bring decades of frontline experience into every course. We do not stop at teaching the what. We teach the why and the how, inside practical, realistic scenarios that mirror the chaos of real events.
Training with Delta may cost more, but what you are buying is confidence, competence, and capability. You are choosing to move from bystander to responder. From uncertainty to clarity. From theory to action.
We create professionals. We train people to respond, not freeze. If you want training that holds up when seconds matter, you belong here.
DELTA EMERGENCY + CANADIAN RED CROSS
Delta is a proud Canadian Red Cross Training Partner. The Red Cross is internationally trusted for first aid, CPR, and Professional Responder programs, built on rigorous research and global humanitarian standards. Pair this with the operational experience of Alberta Paramedics and Firefighters, and you get a level of training that sits far above the national average.
Red Cross provides the framework. Delta provides the execution. The result is a graduate who can actually perform.
Many of the people now serving with CFD, EFRS, EMS, and industrial medical teams began their training in our classrooms. Their success is built on more than a certificate. It is built on real standards, real repetition, and real expectations.
OUR ORIGIN STORY
Delta Emergency was established in 2013 by Alberta Advanced Care Paramedics. After responding to thousands of emergencies across the province, one pattern stood out. People wanted to help, but fear and lack of confidence stopped them. Many had taken first aid years before and forgotten the skills. Others worried about doing something wrong. Some had never been trained at all.
We wanted to change that. We wanted communities filled with people who could act, not freeze. We wanted responders who could make a difference before the ambulance arrived.
We joined the Canadian Red Cross to expand our knowledge and align with a standard that matched our expectations. Their instructor methodologies and focus on communication, teamwork, and patient centered care matched our own values. From day one, Delta courses were built to be safe, supportive, and effective. Students leave prepared, not uncertain.
OUr Name
In EMS dispatch, calls rise through a hierarchy of urgency until they reach two tiers at the top: Delta and Echo. Echo is rare. Delta is everything else that is serious, time critical, and demanding. Delta is where responders live. It is where skill, clarity, and courage are measured in real time. Far more emergencies fall under Delta than Echo, and these are the calls that define what it means to be ready.
Delta represents the world where response is not optional, where people rely on your decisions, and where training becomes action.
Emergency captures the moments we prepare you for.
Support reflects the care that happens before sirens or stretchers arrive.
Training is the foundation that turns fear into competence and hesitation into movement.
Delta Emergency Support Training exists for the people who step forward when others step back. For the hands that start care long before hospital lights ever touch the patient. For the responders who change the story in those first few minutes.
Our name is not a slogan. It is a promise. A reminder that most real emergencies are Delta level and that the people who answer them deserve more than basic preparation.
If you want to meet that moment with confidence, you train here.
OUR LOGO
The Delta Lifebolt brings together the EMS Star of Life, a lightning bolt, and a heart. It is a visual summary of the mission behind our training.
The Star of Life represents the six links of professional EMS care: detection, reporting, response, on scene care, care in transit, and transfer to definitive care. The lightning bolt represents rapid action and the lifesaving power of early CPR and an AED. The heart represents the human being at the center of every emergency.
Our logo also reflects the broader chain of survival. Positive outcomes depend on everyone working together. Early recognition and CPR from a bystander. Early defibrillation from a trained first aider. Rapid response from Fire and EMS. High quality care from paramedics and hospital teams. Each link matters. Each link supports the next.
The Lifebolt is not just a symbol. It is a reminder that when people are trained, connected, and confident, lives are saved. This is why we train, and this is why our communities are stronger when everyone knows how to respond.
OUR MISSION
We educate to inspire confidence. We create professionals.
OUR VISION
To provide exceptional, accessible instruction to the public and to build communities that are confident, knowledgeable, and safety conscious.
OUR VALUES
We recognize leadership and support the advancement of the paramedic profession. We contribute financially and through volunteerism to organizations focused on medical research and emergency education. We run courses that help local groups fund AEDs and lifesaving equipment, and food bank initiatives. We believe everyone has the human right to health and education.
BUILDING RESPONDERS ACROSS Canada
Every cohort you see here came in ready to work and left as confident responders. They now serve their communities across Canada. We have had students travel from rural Alberta, BC, the Yukon, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and New Brunswick to take our AFA and EMR courses.
If you want training that matches the standards of real responders, if you want instruction shaped by Alberta Paramedics and Firefighters, and if you want to build competence instead of collecting certificates, you are in the right place.
Train with Delta Emergency.
