Where we teach it
- At your workplace, anywhere in Alberta. We bring the manikins, AED trainers and everything else the course needs.
- Privately at our training centre in Calgary or Leduc, if you would rather not give up a room.
- Elsewhere in Canada, and internationally, by arrangement.
Travel is charged by distance, always as a round trip, and it is shown in the quote, so there is nothing added afterwards. It is the same course and the same Canadian Red Cross certificate as a public class.
Training the same team every year? The Annual Training Program plans the whole year’s courses for your company in one agreement.
Courses we run for groups only
These never have public dates. We schedule them when a group asks.
