We’re an approved safety and first aid training center near Main Street–Science World Station, serving the heart of Vancouver, BC. From Mount Pleasant to Downtown, East Vancouver, Fairview, and Kitsilano.
Every day, people from all over the city come to us for CPR, AED, and first aid training that’s clear, real, and easy to remember when it matters most.

About Our Training Center
At Fundamental First Aid, we’ve built a Vancouver training center that focuses on one thing: practical, real-world learning. Our instructors are paramedics, nurses, and safety professionals who make each class approachable and fun. No long lectures, no pointless theory, just clear steps you’ll actually use.
Located at 1868 Glen Drive, our Emergency training school includes hands-on practice spaces, modern mannequins with CPR feedback sensors, AED training devices, and small class sizes that let every student get real practice time.
We’re minutes from Science World, Main Street SkyTrain, and major bus routes — with free parking nearby.
CPR and AED Training
If you want to start with the essentials, CPR and AED Training is the foundation. You’ll learn how to recognize cardiac arrest, start compressions, and safely use an AED until medical help arrives.
Our training center Vancouver sessions follow the latest guidelines and include adult, child, and infant practice scenarios. We keep it local too! Sharing real stories from emergencies in Vancouver workplaces, gyms, and public spaces like Canada Place or False Creek.
This course is perfect for individuals, workplace safety teams, and anyone who wants to know what to do when seconds count.
First Aid and CPR for Parents and Families
Parents often tell us they wish they’d taken a class like this sooner. Our First Aid and CPR for Parents and Families course focuses on common emergencies at home, such as choking, allergic reactions, burns, and falls.
You’ll practice on infant and child mannequins and learn how to handle real-life situations that happen in homes across East Vancouver, Kitsilano, and Commercial Drive.
We designed it for new parents, babysitters, and family caregivers who want confidence, not panic, when something goes wrong.
Infant and Child CPR Training
This course is specifically designed for those caring for young children. Infant and Child CPR Training teaches you how to recognize breathing problems, handle choking, and use an AED on small bodies safely.
Every class at our training center in Vancouver gives you plenty of hands-on time and real repetition, because we know it takes practice to feel confident.
CPR Renewal Course / CPR Recertification
If your certification card is expiring soon, our CPR Renewal Course / CPR Recertification helps you stay compliant without sitting through a full course again.
We update you on any new CPR or AED guideline changes, review essential skills, and test your technique with our Bluetooth-enabled mannequins that show compression depth and speed.
It’s a fast, focused refresher that keeps the knowledge you learn at our training center Vancouver current and your skills sharp.
Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Training
AEDs are everywhere in Vancouver, from community centers to gyms. But, few people actually know how to use them. Our Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Training walks you through everything step by step.
You’ll learn:
- When and how to apply pads
- What the device prompts mean
- How to respond in wet or outdoor conditions (because it’s Vancouver)
- What to do after the shock
We practice realistic public scenarios that reflect how AEDs are used in malls, offices, and sports facilities around Downtown and Mount Pleasant.
First Aid Instructor Training
If you’ve ever thought about teaching, our First Aid Instructor Training program helps you turn your experience into leadership.
You’ll learn how to organize classes, coach students effectively, mark performance accurately, and keep sessions fun while meeting all WorkSafeBC and Red Cross standards.
Many of our graduates start as assistants, and are mentored by experienced instructors at our training center Vancouver before becoming independent instructors across the Lower Mainland.
Student First Aid Training for High Schools
We work directly with Vancouver high schools to deliver Student First Aid Training that fits into PE blocks or health education programs.
These sessions introduce teens to CPR, AED use, and first aid basics in a way that’s approachable and engaging. No boring lectures, just hands-on skills, teamwork, and short modules that align with BC school hours.
Schools in Point Grey, East Van, Burnaby, and Fairview book this every semester as part of their safety education plans.
Blended Online + In-Class First Aid Courses
Need flexibility? Our Blended Online + In-Class First Aid Courses combine digital learning with live practice. You’ll complete short modules at home, then come to our Vancouver training center for hands-on skills testing.
It’s the best of both worlds! Less time in class, but no shortcuts on practice. Perfect for busy professionals, students, or parents who can’t spend full days in training.
Weekend First Aid Courses
Weekends are our busiest time at Fundamental First Aid. Our Weekend First Aid Courses let you learn life-saving skills on your own schedule.
We run sessions on Saturday and Sunday mornings near Main Street, making it easy for people from Downtown Vancouver, Kitsilano, and Commercial Drive to attend without missing work.
