Yes! Unlike other agencies who requires you to pay extra for training materials like a textbook we provide everything you need for training at no additional cost.

If you would like to purchase a textbook of your own, you can do that in the classroom by letting your instructor know.

Our classroom limit is 16 sometimes 17 to provide a great instructor to student ratio.

If you have a group larger than 16 we can still hold private classes at your location or ours. Email us and let's get you trained!

There are several options: You can book online by going to the "Our Courses" and selecting the certification you need or fill out this form to set up a private/corporate course or send an email to

Info@ForestCityFirstAid.com or message us on FaceBook/Instagram @ForestCityFirstAid

and we will help you set up a course that works for everyone! You can set up a private course just for your group (we charge for 6 people minimum).

YES! Forest City First Aid delivers Lifesaving Society Programs. The Lifesaving Society remains a WSIB-approved first aid training provider, and the updated program meets CSA guidelines for First Aid Training for the Workplace criteria. This means that if you need it for work your employer will accept our certifications.

The instructor will give you a temporary certifications after the course ends if successful, and the Lifesaving Society of Ontario will mail you the certification within 90 days. This way you will have proof immediately after the course!

Once you get your certification in the mail you'll also have access to an online version by entering your 6 digit code found on your certification here.

WSIB FIRST AID RECERTIFICATION POLICY:

Before June 22, 2026:

The Ontario Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) currently specifies that Standard First Aid (SFA) award holders may recertify just once on a Standard First Aid Recertification course. To renew certification again after that, WSIB requires participants to repeat the full Standard First Aid course. Participants may then continue alternating between full courses and recertification courses, provided all recertification requirements are met.

If your Standard First Aid certification is expired or older than 3 years, you are required to take the full course again.

Current Standard First Aid recertification courses must generally be completed through the original certifying agency.

After June 22, 2026:

As part of the updated Ontario WSIB first aid program, Standard First Aid (SFA) is transitioning to Intermediate First Aid (IFA).

Eligible participants may take an Intermediate First Aid Recertification course within 36 months of completing a Standard First Aid or Intermediate First Aid full course, provided all recertification requirements are met.

Participants who completed their previous full course through another WSIB-approved training provider may also be eligible for recertification, provided their certification is current and they meet all recertification requirements.

If your certification is expired, you are required to take the full 2-day Intermediate First Aid with CPR-C & AED course again.

Please check your certification status before registering for a recertification course to ensure you meet eligibility requirements.

Please fill out this form and we will get in touch with you right away. Let us know what days are best for you and you have the option of choosing to take it at our location or at the comfort of your home/business for additional $10 per person. There must be enough space for the group to work on the ground. If there's a TV/projector for the instructor to use that's great but in case you don't have one just let us know and we can bring our own.

All private courses will be charged a minimum for 6 people. This means if you have a group smaller than 6 we still charge as if there were 6 people.

Once the dates and times are set 50% deposit will be required to secure your booking. The other 50% will be due at the end of the course.

With Forest City First Aid, our instructors are vetted to provide the best learning experience. Just take a look at our impressive Google reviews yourself. You will get a chance to practice actually giving artificial breaths on realistic manikins (other organizations rarely ever do this because of larger class sizes and extra cost). We have a large collection of realistic props and fake wounds to provide a more realistic training possible.

We also run our first aid & CPR courses often meaning it will be easier to find a course time that works with your schedule today and in the future when it's time to recertify.

At an additional cost, we can come to your location to teach, and we are flexible with scheduling as well. We have a 99.99% pass rate because our highly skilled instructors know what they are doing and how to help you succeed.

We customize each class to the candidates work, career, needs and wants. The actual time needed may vary depending on course format, the number of candidates and the learning activities selected. One weekend formats are common. Based on 12–16 candidates: Emergency First Aid: ~8 hours, Standard First Aid: ~16 hours, SFA Recert: ~6.5-8 hours, CPR-A/B/C: ~4-8 hours, CPR-HCP: ~5-8 hours, Airway Management: ~2hours. We want you to be prepared, comfortable and get certified!

Unless you are taking the IFA Recert or the Airway Management course you don’t need to bring anything but feel free to bring something to take notes.

Please bring your SFA/IFA certification to the IFA Recert and the Airway Management course or your Lifesaving Society ID.

Feel free to bring water, snacks and lunch. We have a microwave and a fridge.

Equipment will be provided for you. All we ask from you is energy and excitement to learn!

If you are not comfortable with putting your mouth on the pocket mask that is okay but we highly encourage you to do so for practice. How fast and how much you blow into the lungs do matter, and it’s fun!
