Wonder why our learners and organizations love us?

Their feedback tells the story better than us bragging about it.

10000% recommend Life Start! It was the most intriguing class I've ever taken, and I learned so much!! The course was taught in such a manner that I really could take in EVERY single thing! typically after a first aid/CPR course I am nervous I will not be able to remember, but after this, I feel confident I could help in a situation that needs this training!

Very good first aid classes. Much more hands-on and interactive than other classes I've done in the past.

Very informative and fun. The in-person component is very fun, and the different scenarios really force you to think about the best courses of action. Our instructor was also fantastic.

Why we are paving the way to something great

 

Less than 1 in 10 people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Around 80% of heart attacks in Canada happen at home or work, yet survival rates remain under 8% (2018 stats). At Life Start, that’s not good enough. That’s why we’re committed to high-quality, hands-on first aid training, equipping participants with the skills, confidence, and proper tools to take action. Expect an interactive, immersive experience—you might get a little messy, but I promise it’s worth it!

The difference between life and loss is knowing what to do in the moment. CPR and AED training aren’t just skills—they’re game changers. With the right knowledge and real-world practice, you won’t just stand by in an emergency; you’ll step up. Ready to train like it matters? Because it does.

More AEDs = More Lives Saved

The research is clear: Using an AED with CPR within three minutes of cardiac arrest can increase survival rates by 80%. This life-saving combination is crucial in an emergency. Without an automated external defibrillator (AED), the odds of survival drop drastically—and that’s something we refuse to accept.

The more public spaces, businesses, and communities equipped with AEDs, the faster life-saving action can be taken when the unthinkable happens. While more Canadian workplaces and organizations are stepping up, there’s still work to do. Raising awareness about AED accessibility and CPR training is essential, and we’re here to lead the charge with expert-led first aid training and public education.

That’s why every Life Start first aid class, including our youth programs, features hands-on scenario training with AEDs. We want everyone—no matter their age or experience—to feel confident and prepared to use an AED in an emergency. The best way to be ready? Practice. Learn. Repeat. Because when AEDs are available, and people know how to use them, lives are saved.
