About Hamilton First Aid

Hamilton First Aid is proud to be one of Ontario’s leading providers of high-quality First Aid, CPR, and workplace safety training. As part of St. Mark James Training, a fully Canadian-owned and operated organization founded in 2010, our mission is simple: to provide the highest quality training at the lowest possible prices, without compromise.

Unlike many providers in Canada, we are not part of any international franchise, foreign parent company, or third-party training partnership. This independence allows us to work directly with STMJ Ontario, maintain full control over our quality standards, and reinvest resources into superior training rather than franchise or partner fees. The result? Better training, Canadian oversight, and lower prices for every participant.

Proudly Canadian. Directly STMJ-Approved. No Third-Party Partnerships.

St. Mark James Training was created in Canada to address a critical national need: accessible, high-quality, Canadian-regulated First Aid and CPR training. Because we do not belong to a foreign organization or franchise network:

  • ✔ We follow Canadian standards—not international rules

  • ✔ We work directly with STMJ Ontario, ensuring full compliance

  • ✔ We meet or exceed all CSA and ILCOR requirements

  • ✔ We do not pay licensing or partnership fees, allowing us to keep costs low

  • ✔ We maintain full control over curriculum quality, testing, and training standards

This independence allows us to deliver exceptional value without sacrificing quality.

High-Quality Training Backed by Healthcare Professionals

One of the biggest differences between Hamilton First Aid and many competitors is the training and expertise of our instructors.

Our Instructor Development Program

While many Canadian training partnerships certify instructors with as little as 37 hours of training—often with no prior medical or safety background—our standards are dramatically higher.

At Hamilton First Aid:

  • ✔ Instructor candidates receive over 160 hours of training
  • ✔ Many instructors are doctors, nurses, paramedics, or healthcare professionals
  • ✔ All instructors undergo annual audits to ensure competency
  • ✔ We continuously upgrade training to reflect current STMJ, CSA, and ILCOR guidelines

This means every class is taught by someone with real-world expertise, advanced training, and a proven ability to teach effectively.

A National Network of High-Quality Training Centres

Hamilton First Aid is part of a larger Canadian training network with multiple training centres across Canada. This allows us to:

  • Maintain consistent national training standards
  • Provide reliable support and resources to all instructors
  • Offer flexible scheduling options
  • Serve workplaces and organizations across the country

No matter where you take your course, you receive the same high standard of Canadian training.
