During the CPR section of the course, you will be required to perform CPR (pushing on a plastic manikin doll’s chest) for a portion of the course, so yes, first aid courses do require some physical activity. We recommend you consult with your physician prior to taking the course if you feel it would be of concern to you. Most people find the CPR portion to not be strenuous, but everyone is different.

Of course! We do not discriminate our candidates based on learning differences, we believe all people are capable of and worthy of attaining the necessary skills to save a life. If you have any concerns or would like to discuss this topic further, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@lifesaving4life.ca or give us a call at 778-893-5133, and we’ll be happy to accommodate to
whatever needs possible.

Our class structure and methods try to accommodate people from all background of learning, so although our classes do not directly cater to those learning English as a second language, we do our best to accommodate. Ways we do this is providing many visuals and demonstrations, knowledge checks throughout the course, and the instructor can assist you during your test for any word confusion. We want all of our students to succeed at Lifesaving4Life!

Yes! However, it is up to your discretion if you are comfortably able to perform the physical aspect of the course (i.e. CPR). We recommend you consult with your physician prior to registering for the course.

Yes! We understand the demands of being a nursing mother, however, we do want all of our students to succeed to the best of their own abilities (including yourself!) so it may be wise to accompany yourself along with a babysitter during the course, so if the baby is disruptive, the babysitter is able to leave the room with the baby (therefore not disturbing you and your other fellow student’s learning).

Although, we try our best to maintain an allergy-free, scent-free environment, we do ultimately place the responsibility on the student to prepare themselves to bring all necessary allergy medication just in case (i.e. an EpiPen).
