It has become everybody’s duty to be skilled in providing simple and basic first aid. From simple cuts and scrapes, to accidental falls and burns, basic first aid training at Calgary First Aid will be able to give you the best training.

BLS was created by the American Heart Association and the workplace approved to provide guidelines for correct performance of CPR and AED.
