Marine Advanced First Aid is Transport Canada–approved (TP 13008) and required for officers and designated crew working offshore or in coastal operations.

⚓ Hands-on, scenario-based training
🩺 Manage serious injury and illness at sea

Community Heroes in Action 🛡️

At BraveHeart, we believe real preparedness starts locally — and this partnership proves it.

We’re proud to collaborate with our local Fire Hall, whose generosity makes it possible for youth in our community to receive First Aid training. By donating to support this program, they’re helping train the next generation to act calmly, confidently, and effectively before help arrives.

📅 January 24, 2026
This full-day youth First Aid training empowers participants with real-life skills that save lives — and it’s made accessible thanks to community support like this.

🔥 When young people are prepared, hesitation turns into action.
🤝 When a community steps up together, everyone is safer.

Huge thanks to our local firefighters and volunteers for investing in youth, safety, and resilience

🛡️ CPR/AED Level C or Basic Life Support? The choice isn’t confusing—it’s life-saving.

CPR/AED Level C = parents, teachers, coaches, workplace heroes.
BLS = healthcare pros ready for clinical emergencies.

At BraveHeart, we don’t just teach steps—we train you to step up, stay calm, and save a life when every second counts. Real scenarios, hands-on practice, confidence that sticks.

Your training today could make you the difference tomorrow.

Science in action! AEDs don’t guess—they analyze your heart rhythm, detect dangerous chaos, and deliver a shock only when it’s needed.

At BraveHeart, we teach you how to trust the tech, trust your instincts, and act fast. 🫀

Hero Tip: The first person to act saves lives. Make sure it’s you.

The news coming out of Crans-Montana, Switzerland, this morning is devastating. As the New Year begins, our hearts are with the families and first responders facing the aftermath of the Le Constellation tragedy.

Emergencies don’t wait for convenient moments. They arrive in the middle of celebration and ordinary life.

In the quiet after the shock, we can’t help but wonder what impact broader training and readiness could have made in those first critical minutes.

Readiness must become the standard.

At Braveheart, that mission guides every training and every class.
May moments like this push us beyond reflection and toward preparedness, so we are ready when emergencies hit.

🛡️ Babysitting = First Step Into Real Life

Parents, we want our kids capable, confident, and ready to step into responsibility. Babysitting? One of their first big quests.

It’s not just about watching kids — it’s about leading with calm, making smart choices, and stepping into the real world. But even heroes need the right tools:

What really matters:
- Caring for babies, toddlers, and young children
- Safe, fun play + everyday routines
- Setting boundaries and building trust
- Knowing when and how to ask for help

With these skills, they don’t just “sit”, they stand ready, make good decisions, and gain confidence that lasts. 💪

Every small step toward responsibility? A big leap toward independence.

Play. Protect. Prepare.

What if the person next to you in line knew how to save a life?
In Switzerland, first aid isn’t optional — it’s part of getting a driver’s license, mandatory in military service, and required in workplaces.
The result? A community of people ready, confident, and empowered to act in an emergency.

As 2025 comes to an end, it’s a good time to remember: learning and sharing skills can make a real difference in the year ahead.

Okay, it’s the holidays… but emergencies don’t take time off.

🇯🇵 Why Japan Teaches First Aid From a Young Age

In Japan, first aid education starts early — not because kids are expected to be heroes, but because simple skills save lives.

✔️ Basic Life Support is part of the school curriculum
✔️ Students practice hands-only CPR together, as a class
✔️ Training focuses on acting fast — not being perfect

💡 The idea is simple: When people practice early, they’re more likely to act calmly later.

Lifesaving skills aren’t about age, they’re about readiness.
