Training to save lives shouldn't bore you to death.
First aid training that sticks when it counts. Hands-on, expert-led, and genuinely worth your afternoon — online, in person, or both.
We're 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 at work, yet survival rates remain under 8%. That's not good enough — so we build high-quality, hands-on training that equips participants with the skills, confidence, and tools to take action.
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.
More AEDs = more lives saved
Using an AED with CPR within minutes of cardiac arrest can increase survival rates by up to 80%. Without an automated external defibrillator, the odds drop drastically — and that's something we refuse to accept.
Every Life Start class, including our youth programs, features hands-on scenario training with AEDs. Practice. Learn. Repeat. Because when AEDs are available and people know how to use them, lives are saved.
Virtual & hybrid programs
Better retention, more confidence, more engaging than ever.

Their feedback tells the story better than us bragging about it.
Well done Khrysyn and team — this was a great alternative for the in-person training. You made it comical and memorable.
Online training is hard, but this course was very engaging and entertaining.
Was very surprised and delighted to see Khrysyn's personality shine through the virtual class. The addition of the visuals added so much to the experience — always super informative.
