What People Say About Our Courses

The training itself was engaging, informative, and perfectly tailored to our needs. The instructor was excellent, providing clear explanations and practical demonstrations that left our staff feeling confident and equipped to handle any first aid situation.

....He kept it fun but was also able to keep the kids focused, which was impressive over zoom. The kids really enjoyed it. The cost was also extremely reasonable. Communication with Ahmed was outstanding from my inquiry to the follow up. Highly recommend!

My 10 year old daughter recently attended the Stay Safe course and had a wonderful experience. She has a new confidence in regards to staying home alone and knowing how to handle situations at home or elsewhere. She enjoyed the hands on scenario work that they did.

Accredited, Practical Training

This youth course is based on Canadian Red Cross program content.

We teach clear, age-appropriate safety skills, with calm coaching and plain language.

 

Smaller class sizes mean more practice, more individual support, and less pressure.

Participants can ask questions, try the skills, and build confidence at their own pace. We also embed fun and interaction.

 

We don’t rush through steps; we break them down, show what it looks like in a real situation, and explain the “why” behind each action.

 

Supportive Instructors with Real Experience

Most of our youth instructors have worked in front-line roles, including ER nursing, paramedic units, pool lifeguarding, industrial safety, and food safety supervision. 

 

They’ve responded to choking, asthma attacks, workplace injuries, allergic reactions, and real “I don’t feel right” moments in the field.

 

Our instructors provide practical insight, helping participants build confidence in their decision-making and actions. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Who accredits the Stay Safe! Course and how do we know it meets quality standards? The Stay Safe! Course is aligned with the curriculum and training guidelines of the Canadian Red Cross, ensuring you receive a standardised and quality‑assured educational experience.

Are there any prerequisites or equipment requirements for participants? There are no formal prerequisites for the Stay Safe! Course beyond being in the appropriate age range. Participants should come prepared to engage in discussion and practical activities, wearing comfortable attire, ready for moderate movement and mock‑scenarios. There’s no requirement to bring first‑aid kits or equipment; the provider supplies all training materials.

How much does the Stay Safe! Course cost? The Stay Safe! Course is priced at $65 per participant (for the latest fee, please see above). That includes all training materials and instruction. All participants will receive their workbook and certification at the end of the training. This is a single, in-class session of about five hours. Payment is completed during booking, and certification is issued immediately after course completion. You can attend at either of our two Edmonton locations — West (8944-182 St NW) or South (8804-51 Ave NW). Both offer small class sizes for a more comfortable learning experience.

Is the Stay Safe! Course offered online or in a blended format? Our Stay Safe! Course is currently in-class only. Because it’s designed for youth ages 9–13, the most effective learning happens through hands-on activities and instructor guidance. Participants practice real-life scenarios such as checking for hazards, using an EpiPen trainer, and practising the recovery position — skills best learned in person. Our blended learning options apply to adult CPR and First Aid programmes (Standard / Intermediate First Aid and Emergency / Basic First Aid). The youth courses, including Stay Safe and Babysitting, remain in-class to keep sessions interactive and confidence-building.
