A Leader in Workplace First Aid
For over two decades, Rescue 7 has been at the forefront of workplace first aid training in Canada. Founded in 1998 by Toronto firefighter John Collie, the company has grown from a home-based operation to a nationally recognized training provider, equipping thousands of employees with the skills and confidence to respond in emergency situations.

Tailored Training Across Canada
A mix of online learning and hands-on practical sessions to ensure comprehensive first aid preparedness.
Hands-on training in life-saving techniques, including defibrillator use, to equip employees for emergency situations.
Customized programs to help businesses develop effective emergency protocols.
Specialized programs for high-risk workplaces needing advanced first aid skills.
Providing training, inspections, and more for AED units for workplace preparedness.
Instructor-led and digital courses designed to equip workers with essential safety skills.
Rescue 7 delivers high-quality, industry-specific training using a combination of instructor-led sessions and blended learning models. Their programs are certified nationwide (except in Quebec, which has a separate regulatory framework) and cater to a wide range of industries, from corporate offices to hazardous work environments.
Unlike some international training models that allow fully online certification, Canada requires hands-on instruction. Rescue 7’s expert trainers—who are all active or retired first responders—ensure that participants receive real-world, practical experience that prepares them to act in critical situations.
