Request a quoteBuilt around the way Saskatchewan workplaces actually operate.
First aid training is everywhere. What sets us apart is that we're built around your shift schedule, your industry's regulations, and your team's training needs β not the other way around.
- Saskatchewan-specific curriculum framing β our courses explicitly address the 2020 OHS Regulations, CSA Z1220-17 first aid kit standards, and the Class A/B attendant requirements that govern your workplace.
- Small group sizes β capped low enough that every participant gets corrective feedback on compressions, AED placement, and patient assessment. Not just lectures with manikins parked at the back of the room.
- Instructors with real experience β paramedics, nurses, and occupational health professionals who teach what they actually use in practice.
- Digital certification issued immediately β Canadian Red Cross digital certificate before you leave the building, with the printed wallet card following in the mail.
- Built for shift workers β early-morning, evening, and Saturday options so you don't have to take vacation time to maintain your credentials.
From the potash mines to the operating theatre.
Saskatchewan's economy runs on industries where first aid certification isn't paperwork β it's the difference between a manageable incident and a tragedy. Our students reflect that range.
Potash, uranium, and agricultural operations
Saskatchewan's mining and resource sectors have some of the most demanding workplace safety requirements in Canada. Our Standard First Aid and CPR courses are scheduled with mine schedules in mind β long-rotation crews, four-day on/four-day off cycles, and emergency response team callouts.
SHA staff, U of S nursing, SaskPolytech students
BLS for Healthcare Providers is the credential Saskatchewan Health Authority requires across hospitals and clinics. We schedule frequent BLS sessions specifically timed to nursing intake cycles at U of S and SaskPolytech health programs.
Builders, electricians, plumbers, scaffolders
Saskatoon's construction sector is one of the busiest in Western Canada. Standard First Aid is the baseline expectation on virtually every commercial and residential site β and supervisors are increasingly being asked to hold the credential personally.
Daycares, schools, ECE programs
Saskatchewan's regulated childcare sector requires current first aid certification for licensed providers. Our CPR Level C and Standard First Aid courses meet those requirements β and our family-focused scheduling makes renewal painless for educators with their own kids.
The questions we get before someone books.
What does Saskatchewan's OHS Regulation actually require my workplace to have?
Since April 1, 2021, Part 5 of Saskatchewan's Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 2020 requires every employer to conduct a workplace first aid risk assessment using CSA Standard Z1220-17. The result tells you whether your workplace is low, moderate, or high hazard β and that classification determines the first aid kit type, the number of first aiders required, and their certification level.
For most moderate and high hazard sites, that means at least one Class A first aid attendant per shift β which in practical terms means someone holding a current Canadian Red Cross Standard First Aid with CPR/AED Level C certificate.
Is your certificate recognized province-wide and across Canada?
Yes. Canadian Red Cross certificates are issued under a national standard and recognized by every provincial OHS regulator in Canada, every workers' compensation board, and federally regulated workplaces (transport, banking, federal pipeline, telecom, broadcasting). If you take your certificate from Saskatoon to a job in Calgary, Vancouver, or Halifax, it carries the same weight.
What's the difference between Standard and Emergency First Aid?
Emergency First Aid is a single day, roughly 8 hours, covering CPR, AED, choking, severe bleeding, and shock β the life-threatening situations where minutes matter most. It's enough for many low-hazard Saskatchewan workplaces.
Standard First Aid spans two days (14+ hours of first aid plus 4 hours of CPR) and covers everything in Emergency plus the broader curriculum: fractures and joint injuries, head and spinal injuries, sudden medical events (heart attack, stroke, anaphylaxis, seizures, diabetic emergencies), burns, and environmental injuries. This is the Class A attendant qualification under Saskatchewan OHS, and it's what most moderate and high hazard workplaces require.
How quickly can we book onsite training for our team?
For most onsite group bookings β six or more participants β we can usually schedule within one to three weeks. Mining and resource operations with rotating crews sometimes need longer lead times to align with shift changes; we work with those constraints regularly.
What's the cost?
Pricing varies by course and group size. Our published rates include taxes, Canadian Red Cross fees, the digital certificate, the printed wallet card, and all course materials β there are no per-person hidden costs added at the end. For onsite group bookings in Saskatoon and surrounding communities, we typically match or beat the cost-per-person of sending the same group to public sessions. Specific pricing is on each course page.
