About Fundamental First Aid
Fundamental First Aid has become one of Vancouver’s most trusted names in professional safety training.
We’re known for hands-on instruction, small class sizes, and real-world practice that goes far beyond textbook scenarios.
Every Vancouver first aid course is led by experienced paramedics, nurses, and safety professionals who’ve seen emergencies firsthand.
That experience shapes how we teach — with plain language, patience, and plenty of repetition until every skill feels natural.
Our training rooms are clean, spacious, and equipped with advanced CPR mannequins, AED trainers, and mock-injury kits to make scenarios realistic but approachable.
