Pricing and Payment
What is the cost of private group training?
Please contact us for current pricing and ask us to provide a quote for your group. Pricing varies with course, location and number of participants.
When is payment due?
On booking, we will invoice you for our flat fee for the course you’ve chosen. One week before the course date, you will be required to pay the balance for any additional participants.
What methods of payment do you accept?
We accept EFT, Visa, MasterCard and business cheques. We do not accept personal cheques or cash payments.
What does the course fee include?
With first aid courses, the fee includes the training, a CPR mask, Red Cross certificate and digital ebook. With Mental Health First Aid training, the fee includes training, a digital Mental Health First Aid book and certification from the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
Course duration and timing
What is the course duration?
Duration is different for each course. Once we know which course you’re interested in, we’ll send you the detailed information relevant to that course including duration, timing and pricing.
What time do courses start?
Most groups choose a start time of 8:30 or 9:00 am. However, the course start time is flexible, and we’ll find a timeframe that suits you. All courses include refreshment breaks.
Training Room and Equipment Requirements
What are the training room requirements for a first aid class?
The room must have a minimum of 500 sq. ft. of clear, clean floor space in addition to a seating area, chairs for participants, a few tables and washrooms nearby.
What are the equipment requirements for a first aid class?
Our instructor will bring everything they need to teach the course. If you are able to provide a whiteboard or blackboard, flip chart, projector or other AV aids that is very helpful and much appreciated, but not required.
Can a first aid course be held in a school classroom?
It depends on the size of the classroom and the number of participants. There are lots of physical activities included in a Red Cross first aid class, so the more floor space, the better. A gym, multi-purpose room or library space works best unless the group is very small.
