Industry-leading first aid training and safety courses since 2008. Securing the safety of your family and workforce across British Columbia.
WORKSAFEBC CERTIFIED
WORKSAFEBC COURSES
WorkSafeBC Occupational First Aid certification is mandatory for designated first aid attendants in British Columbia workplaces under the Workers Compensation Act. The level your site needs depends on the number of workers per shift, the hazard rating of the work, and how far you are from medical care. Metro Safety Training delivers Basic First Aid (formerly OFA Level 1), Intermediate First Aid (OFA Level 2), Advanced First Aid (OFA Level 3), Advanced First Aid Renewal and the Transportation Endorsement, taught by certified instructors with flexible weekday, evening and weekend scheduling across Coquitlam, Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond and Surrey. Every certificate we issue is valid for three years.
CANADIAN RED CROSS
RED CROSS COURSES
As an authorized Canadian Red Cross training partner, we teach the nationally recognized first aid and resuscitation programs most employers ask for. Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED suits low-risk workplaces and public-facing staff, Standard First Aid & CPR/AED meets the broader national and WorkSafeBC requirements, and Basic Life Support (BLS) covers healthcare providers and emergency teams. Both first aid levels are offered in a blended format — a self-paced online component followed by a hands-on in-class session — so you spend less time away from work without changing the certification you earn. We also run Emergency Child Care First Aid for educators and childcare providers, Psychological First Aid, and the First Responder and Emergency Medical Responder programs for pre-hospital care. Red Cross certificates are valid for three years.
WORKPLACE SAFETY
SAFETY TRAINING COURSES
BC employers carry a due-diligence obligation to train workers on the specific hazards of their jobsite, and documented certification is what proves that training happened. Our workplace safety programs cover forklift operation, fall protection for work at heights, confined space entry for monitors, entrants and rescue teams, the ASTTBC-recognized Construction Safety Officer designation, the Construction Safety Training System (CSTS), and FoodSafe Level 1. Each course pairs classroom theory with practical evaluation on real equipment, and every program can be delivered at our Coquitlam campus or on-site at your facility so crews certify together without losing a full day to travel.
WHY CHOOSE US
WHAT WE'VE ACHIEVED
The emergency first aid training classes we've provided have saved countless lives. People who have taken a first aid training course report back telling us how they were instrumental in administering first aid or CPR to someone who needed it.
It is our belief that teaching first aid courses should be something that every business teaches their employees, and we will work tirelessly till most workplaces and homes have at least one person who can administer emergency first aid and CPR.
That means fitting training around the way people actually work. We schedule part-time Advanced First Aid on evenings and weekends so working attendants can recertify without three straight weeks off the job, run blended Red Cross courses that cut classroom time in half, and bring instructors and equipment directly to your facility for group bookings anywhere in the Lower Mainland. Companies training multiple staff get a dedicated dashboard to manage employees, track certification expiry dates and book seats in any public class — so nobody's ticket lapses without warning.
