Our instructor Bivaik was amazing in transmitting us her knowledge, covering every detail, allowing plenty of time for questions and making sure everyone got sufficient hands on practice. Furthermore she was kind and patient, making sure we would have a pleasant experience, and she made an extra effort to assure we are all well prepared to attend to an emergency.
The classroom was well equipped providing all the necessary material for studying and practicing emergency scenarios including books, a projector screen, mannequins, first aid material, barriers, defibrillators, mats, and last but not least plenty of coffee and tea.
I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for first aid and CPR training.
Thank you for your services!
Both instructors were patient and approachable, always making sure everyone felt confident with the skills. The place was well set up, and the course was hands-on without feeling rushed. I left feeling prepared for real-life situations and would definitely recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn first aid in a supportive, interactive environment.
The course was well-organized, hands-on, and full of useful examples. Jone made the class engaging from start to finish and made sure everyone understood the material before moving on. I left the training feeling much more capable and ready to handle emergencies safely and correctly.
I highly recommend Safety BC and especially Jone for anyone who needs professional, high-quality First Aid training.

If you want, I can also rewrite it in a shorter or more casual style.
Ezequiel is an excellent instructor! His pacing and communication is great, and he was able to keep the program focused and fun at the same time. I would highly recommend him as a first aid instructor!
As a first-time First Aid student, I left feeling confident and capable—like a pro! The trainers focus on real-world application, ensuring that you’re ready for any situation related to your level. The facility is very clean, and there is free coffee, which adds a nice touch to the overall experience.
What stood out was the instructor. She was incredibly knowledgeable, and engaging, and made the entire learning process enjoyable. Her real-world experience and approachable teaching style made it easy to ask questions and feel supported throughout the course.
I highly recommend taking a course through Fundamental First Aid to anyone looking to gain practical first aid skills – you’ll leave feeling empowered and ready to assist in an emergency!
The course itself was a fantastic experience. Our instructor, Belinda, was outstanding. Her expertise, engaging teaching style, and genuine passion for first aid made the five-day course not only informative but also enjoyable. Belinda's ability to break down complex concepts into easily understandable parts and her hands-on approach ensured that everyone in the class was confident in their skills by the end of the course.
I highly recommend Fundamental First Aid to anyone looking to get certified. The combination of excellent customer service and top-notch instruction made this an invaluable and fun learning experience. Thank you, Blake and Belinda, for such a positive and enriching training!
The day was lead by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructor, who gave great demonstrations and assisted when necessary. He was very informative and has a delightful personality.
The meeting room was clean, well organized and welcoming. All the equipment was in good working order. Parking was easy! I highly recommend.

Our knowledge and experience have made us the leading provider of OFA Level 1, OFA Level 2, and OFA Level 3 courses in Surrey. We offer the first aid course Surrey residents trust for top-quality training.
Community Outreach
Fundamental First Aid is a proud B.C. based company, and we give back to our community in any way we can.

We also provide free Naloxone Training to members of our community.
Training Center in Surrey, BC
Our Surrey Training Center is set up for learning, not lectures. We keep class sizes reasonable so students actually practice skills like CPR, choking response, bleeding control, and AED use.
Many students tell us they’ve taken first aid before but never felt confident. That usually changes halfway through the day when the training clicks.
Occupational Health Service
First aid is part of workplace safety, not an add-on. As an Occupational Health Service, we work with employers across Surrey to meet WorkSafeBC requirements and reduce injuries, downtime, and stress when something goes wrong.
Construction, security, manufacturing, fitness, and education all have different needs. We help match the course to the job.
Occupational First Aid Level 1 (OFA Level 1)
OFA Level 1 in Surrey is one of the most common workplace requirements in the Surrey area. It’s often needed for retail, warehouses, offices, and lower-risk job sites.
People usually take OFA Level 1 because:
It’s required for work
Their employer asked for it
They want more than just CPR
Occupational First Aid Level 2 (OFA Level 2)
OFA Level 2 Surrey is required on many construction and industrial sites. It covers patient assessment, oxygen, and advanced trauma care.
This course is longer and more hands-on, and usually taken by workers assigned as on-site first aid attendants.
Occupational First Aid Level 3 (OFA Level 3)
OFA Level 3 Surrey is advanced workplace first aid. It’s often required for remote or high-risk sites.
Students in this course spend days practicing scenarios. It’s intense, but people leave knowing they can manage serious injuries until help arrives.
Basic First Aid Courses Vancouver
A Surrey Basic First Aid Course is a good starting point if you want solid first aid skills without the length of occupational training. It covers injuries, medical emergencies, and everyday situations people see at home or work.
Parents, coaches, and new workers often start here.
Emergency First Aid Course
An Emergency First Aid Course in Surrey focuses on immediate life-threatening situations. CPR, choking, bleeding, shock — the things that matter in the first few minutes.
This course is popular with students who need fast certification or entry-level training.
Standard First Aid and CPR Certification
Our Standard First Aid Courses in Surrey go deeper than emergency-only training. They includes injury care, medical emergencies, and CPR/AED skills.
This is the most popular course offered by the Canadian Red Cross, and is often required for childcare, education, and many healthcare-adjacent jobs in Surrey.
Intermediate First Aid Training
Intermediate First Aid Training in Surrey bridges the gap between basic and advanced courses. It’s useful when someone wants more confidence but doesn’t need full OFA Level 3.
Advanced First Aid Course
A Surrey Advanced First Aid Course is for higher-risk environments where serious injuries can happen. These courses go deeper into patient assessment, spinal injuries, oxygen therapy, and long-term care while waiting for help.
They’re common on large job sites and remote locations around Surrey.
CPR Certification
CPR Certification in Surrey, specifically our CPR/AED Level C course, teaches CPR for adults, children, and infants. It is our most basic life-saving course and covers essential Critical Interventions.
If you are a Surrey resident who wants to learn to save a life in the most time-efficient manner, this course is for you.
Basic Life Support (BLS) / CPR-HCP Training (Healthcare Providers)
BLS / CPR-HCP Training is designed for healthcare providers. It follows team-based CPR, airway management, and high-performance resuscitation standards.
This course is common for nurses, care aides, and clinic staff across Surrey.
Naloxone Training and Overdose Response
With overdoses still happening in the Lower Mainland, Naloxone & Overdose Response Training saves lives. This course teaches recognition, response, and naloxone use.
Community groups, security teams, and workplaces often request this training.
Transportation Endorsement (TE) Course (WorkSafeBC-Approved)
The Transportation Endorsement (TE) course in Surrey is for certified OFA Level 1, 2, or 3 attendants who transport injured workers. It covers spinal packaging, loading procedures, and patient monitoring during transport.
Our Surrey TE classes meet all WorkSafeBC standards, and many students complete them alongside their OFA 1 or OFA 2 training.
