I was enrolled in a course for OFA3 as well as EMR that lasted for a duration of three weeks, the course was laid out very well, class time was utilized very efficiently from Monday through Friday 8am-5pm with all the appropriate breaks. The instructors were very knowledgeable, answered questions regarding all OFA3 material. The EMR Instructor was one of the best I've had, and made great use of the short class time we had to cover all the EMR protocols that were required to pass the exam. This was a condensed course that was put on by the two instructors, who I believe did an awesome job of keeping classes on topic and task throughout the short time frame that was given to them. I believe that after being certified through Heartsafe First Aid for my OFA3 and my EMR that I have the skills required to complete my tasks with confidence.

After being an OFA III for ten years, the EMR course was a bit of a change and a little more work but well worth the effort. The course was well laid out, the instructor was very informative and provided pertinent information. I think I can speak for everyone. We all had a blast. I would definitely recommend this course.

I have been an OFA2 for over 15 years, and have taken the course through 3 different training providers. I feel Heart Safe is the best for providing this training of all the vendors. The instructors, Heather and Paul, have an amazing wealth of experience and knowledge that makes the training so much easier to learn. The location of the training is very convenient, as it is central and has free parking, as well as access to restaurants for ease of lunches. The advantage of being able to enjoy good weather during lunch hour at the Comfort Inn's patio and pool, is very relaxing and helpful for studying. I highly recommend Heart Safe BC to anyone wanting to get their OFA training. Great work Paul and Heather - keep it up !

As a health & safety advisor for a mid-sized organization, I want my training and that of the first aid attendants on staff to be the best. For training in Victoria, I always recommend that the 18 attendants in my local program take their training or renew their OFA 1, 2 or 3 certification through HeartSafe EMS.

Heather and Paul provide the kind of training that prepares students for actual first aid situations they might encounter on the job. Both Paul and Heather can supplement textbook scenarios with personal anecdotes of situations they have experienced. This makes their training relevant and realistic. The equipment is well maintained and there is enough of everything for full class participation using real supplies.

I recommend HeartSafe for Occupational First Aid Training in the Victoria area.

I would recommend The HeartSafe EMR Course to anyone. Its amazing that a two week course can provide you with so much information and knowledge, as well as equip you for a career in the EMR field. After completing the training I became better able to perform my duties as an EMS dispatcher. Now, only 7 months later I’m moving up to Firefighter/EMR with my Department. This training will definitely give you the confidence and skills to attain and excel in the EMR field.

Heartsafe is second to none when it comes to first aid training. Paul and his amazing team made sure I was confident, and well prepared for my job as an entry level paramedic. I highly recommend any courses being offered at Heartsafe.

Paul, I wanted to thank you for your assistance and instruction. The EMR course you taught was comprehensive and very pertinent to prep for the EMA licensing exam. The fact that you personally went above and beyond to assist in the study and comprehension of the material was greatly appreciated. I have and will continue to recommend your school to new recruits. Thanks once again for your help, I am very grateful and love my job with BCAS.

As a former Paramedic now working in Occupational Health and Safety, I understand how important it is to have training you can trust. I've trusted Paul and Heather to provide my OFA and EMR training for over ten years. They'll even lend a hand putting those skills to work with their extensive contacts with people looking to employ well trained attendants.

Heartsafe EMS is my first and only choice when it comes to OFA and EMR training.

Paul, I just wanted to say a huge thanks for preparing me for my EMA licensing exams. The EMR course was great with lots to learn and allowing me to drop by for some extra practise days before my EMA practical exam made a huge difference. I am now working as a licensed EMR and loving it. Thanks for everything Paul !
