If you need first aid course information, you no longer have to wait for office hours or sit on hold. You can now reach The Academy for First Aid and Safety by text message, day or night. For basic information about the courses that we offer, interested participants can send us a text message at any time and receive a reply within minutes. That is the whole idea: a quick question, a quick answer, and a clear next step toward getting trained.
Many people put off booking a course because they have one small question first. Maybe you are not sure which course your employer or school accepts, or whether a class is running on a date that works for you. Texting removes that barrier. There is no phone tag, no waiting room, and no need to plan your question around our opening hours. Just send a short message when the question comes to mind, and we will point you in the right direction.
What First Aid Course Information Can You Ask for by Text?
Our text line is for basic first aid course information. You can ask us about any of the following, and we will reply with a clear, short answer:
- Upcoming course dates and times
- Prices for our first aid and CPR courses
- Class locations in Toronto, Scarborough, Mississauga, Brampton, and Barrie
- Which course you need for work or school
- How long a course takes
- How to register
If your question is more detailed, or if you need advice about a specific workplace requirement, we will tell you honestly and help you find the right course. Texting is the fastest way to start that conversation, because you can ask at 7 a.m. before work, at lunchtime, or late in the evening, and still get a reply within minutes for basic course information.
