Small Classes, Real Skills

We keep our classes small so every student gets real time on the manikins and real feedback from the instructor, not just a seat in a lecture. It's the difference between watching first aid and actually being able to do it when it matters.

Our Philosophy

“We don't see what we do as just another box to check for work or school. It's the art of keeping the people around you safe, something you carry with you long after the certificate is filed away. It's about being the person who knows exactly what to do the moment someone you love needs you most, in the emergencies you hope never come but need to be ready for anyway. And we believe learning that shouldn't feel like a chore. Our courses are hands-on, genuinely fun, and taught in a friendly, welcoming environment where you'll actually enjoy showing up.”

Hilda Eldik

“Highly recommend. The class was most professional as well as affordable compared to other locations. The instructor was thorough while ensuring everyone in the class felt confident in passing the exam. Will definitely return.”

“The course is excellent. I liked the online portion which can be done at your own pace. The in-class portion is excellent. The instructor Samer is a natural teacher. He is engaging and incredibly knowledgeable. He took what could have been dry and tedious material and made it fun to learn.”

R C

“This was a great course as the instructor gave practical and real life scenarios along with in depth knowledge. He was open to flexibility with the class schedule and helped keep the class engaged with the amount of information we had to cover. He is a very good instructor.”

Lina Marmol

“I've taken level C First Aid five times and this is the best presentation of the course that I have received. Sam is a great instructor. The organization allowed my breastfed baby to accompany me! I highly recommend First 2 Aid. Thank you Sam.”

Chelsea William

“This course is by far the most effective Standard First Aid and BLS-HCP course I have taken. Sam is an amazing instructor. He took his time to explain concepts using real life situations. I feel more confident than ever to attempt life saving measures in emergency situations. Thank you Sam.”
