About Calgary First Aid
At Calgary First Aid, we’re proud to be one of Canada’s largest locally owned and operated first aid and CPR training providers — with no ties to international third-party organizations. Since opening over 15 years ago, we’ve trained more than 120,000 people and have grown from our roots in Calgary, Alberta, to a nationwide presence, helping tens of thousands of Canadians earn their certification each year.
We’re committed to quality at every level. That’s why we offer OH&S–approved courses through St. Mark James Training, ensuring the highest standards of instruction and safety. Unlike many third-party providers with little to no oversight, our courses and instructors undergo rigorous auditing to guarantee consistency, compliance, and excellence.
By working directly with Alberta OH&S, we ensure every program reflects the latest regulations, proven best practices, and uncompromising training quality — so you can trust that your certification truly meets the highest Canadian standards.
