Heartsafe Emergency Medical Solutions Ltd

Edit:In response to the owner response, sounds like the review is coming in the email so thats good to know, thanks for specifying that! And thanks for taking the feedback seriously, very professional of you :)Lots of great reviews on here , which is good. That being said my experience was so-so. I did a one week First Responder course, and it was the most crammed course I've ever taken. There was barely enough time to get any practical scenarios in, we just had" to keep pumping through PowerPoint almost all week. They also combine the first week of EMR with the FR course

I did my Basic First Aid at the HeartSafe three years ago. It was great experience. The instructor we had was very knowledgeable with lots of practical experience from volunteering with Red Cross worldwide. In two days, I really learned something from him and gained new skills. The class size was adequate, and the supplies were good. We practiced a lot with new unopened first-aid materials, which is important for learning proper techniques of how not to contaminate sterile pads in the process of opening them. Breathing masks were gifted to all course attendants. I highly recommend this establishment.

The Provincial Government of BC have legislation that says there has to be a person who is trained to provide First Aid to workers, at an occupational place of work.Worksafe BC administer the First Aid requirements for places of work.Organisations such as Heartsafe, provide the hands on Occupational First Aid training to workers. Heartsafe also certify people to show they have received training, and demonstrated proficiency.All in all, it shows the high value that the Province places on the health and safety of workers in BC.The training venue is not pretty, but the training is good. Plenty of 'hands on' opportunity to practice. My trainer was laid back and very personable. He observed and supported the practical sessions well.For trainees with some mobility issues, appropriate accommodation was made. A nice ambiance was created by the trainees and trainer, together.

This place is amazing! I have done my original OFA3 and my recertification as well. Each time I was fortunate enough to have a different instructor because they are all absolutely fantastic. My favourite part is that this is the only first aid training agency I have found where they encourage me to actually open up supplies and practice using them on patients during rescue scenarios. No cutting corners!

I have been coming to HeartSafe for four years now. I did my OFA 1, 3, transport endorsement and EMR through them and have to say there teaching approach and hands on expertise really are exceptional.

Fantastic company with fantastic instructors. I took my OFA 2, OFA 3, and Primary Care Paramedic through Heartsafe and would whole-heartedly recommend them for all levels of training.

I took an OFA3 course with Heartsafe in late 2019. Since then, I have taken multiple first aid courses around the country of varying levels, and yet, Heartsafe’s course has by far been the best.The instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful. The course was packed with practical scenarios that helped me translate knowledge from boring, but necessary, PowerPoints into tangible skills. We even got to practice with the Primary Care Paramedic course, which added a lot of unexpected value.If I ever moved back to BC, I would definitely be going back to Heartsafe!

In recertification of my Level 2 I have now done this and the level 3 course 5 times in the last 25 years. Rosemary was a superb instructor with vast knowledge in emergency medicine that she communicated in a balanced and downloadable manner.In truth if this was an Old School video game called First Aid then Rosemary would be the Big Boss you met on the final stage.

HeartSafe is the only provider I will take all of my First Aid courses and recerts through! The admin staff are wonderful and helpful. Ron is the best instructor ever and they're cheaper than other places offering the same course! Take your courses at HeartSafe! You will not be disappointed!!!

Registration was very good(good communications), Ample parking around back of location. Large classroom.Price for course can't be beat(CPR-C $15.00) and free pocket mask.Took a star for equipment problems (Cleanliness and functionability) and a star because instructor had to be corrected on some items by students.
