“Over my career, I’ve gotten training from several First Aid trainers, but I have to say, BraveHeart First Aid has to be the best. The training itself is great, the trainers are top-notch, and you couldn’t ask for better.”
Paul Belliveau, Pharmacist
Questions before you book
My employer asked for Intermediate First Aid. Is this the right course?
Yes. In Nova Scotia workplace first-aid language, Intermediate First Aid corresponds to the two-day Intermediate First Aid (Standard) level. BraveHeart’s Intermediate First Aid (Standard) course includes CPR-C + AED and is designed for people who need workplace First Aid certification. If your employer specifically asked for Advanced First Aid, BLS, or another specialized course, confirm that before booking.
My employer asked for Basic First Aid. Is this the right course?
Yes. In Nova Scotia workplace first-aid language, Basic First Aid corresponds to the Basic First Aid (Emergency) level. BraveHeart’s Basic First Aid (Emergency) course includes CPR-C + AED. If your workplace has higher-risk safety requirements or asks for Intermediate First Aid, choose Intermediate First Aid (Standard) instead.
My employer asked for CPR-C. Is this the right course?
It depends on whether you also need First Aid (wound care, trauma response) training. Both our Basic First Aid (Emergency) and Intermediate First Aid (Standard) courses include CPR-C + AED certification at no extra cost. If you only need standalone resuscitation skills, our CPR-C + AED Only course is correct. Note: Dental professionals in Nova Scotia are required to hold BLS for Healthcare (HCP) instead of CPR-C.
How quickly do I get my certificate?
Your official Canadian Red Cross digital certificate is emailed directly to you within 2 days of successfully completing your course.
What is your cancellation policy?
You can reschedule or cancel for a full refund up to 48 hours before your course starts using the direct self-serve link in your confirmation email. Within 48 hours of course start, please email us directly at team@braveheartfirstaid.com for assistance.
