Dynamic Approach Corporate Training and Team Development

Vital Skills

… First Aid/CPR Training/WHMIS/AHLA

Our experience has been that part of building effective and successful teams in the workplace requires addressing the issue of Health and Safety, as it relates to both Staff and Clients. It is important that, from top to bottom, specific issues and risks are addressed and staff and management teams are given the tools to deal effectively with situations.

Further, the potential liability issue that may exist within the business setting, along the importance of maintaining governing body certifications, was one of the driving factors that led us to offering training in, what we call, Vital Skills.

  1. First Aid / CPR Training (Canadian Red Cross)

  2. WHMIS Training

  3. Alcohol Intervention –"It's Good Business" Program for F&B Staff and Managers (AHLA)




First Aid / CPR Training (Canadian Red Cross)

Our courses have a unique approach in that we have developed a structure involving team teaching and group presentations that really allow participants to own the learning process and enjoy the course as leaders in learning rather than simply as listeners. It has proven to be a great way to develop strong skills and offer an enjoyable day or two of training!

Canadian Red CrossAs certified Instructors with the Canadian Red Cross, our Vital Skills Facilitators offer full First Aid and CPR Training Courses. The approach is dynamic and involves hands-on skill development while building confidence in participants so that they will be comfortable taking ownership in emergency situations.

Courses do meet all provincial and federal standards and are accepted through all governing bodies that require staff to be trained in any the following areas:

  • STANDARD FIRST AID: 2 day
  • EMERGENCY FIRST AID: 1 day
  • CPR Training: 1/2 to 1 day
  • RECERT Programs: 1/2 to 1 day

Note: Both of our First Aid Courses INCLUDE infant, child and adult CPR.

First Aid Training Courses can be run on site or at a facility that we use for training in your area. The space needed to run the courses is typically enough space to set up round tables for the group, plus at least the same amount of room again in open floor space. This area is for practical skills development.




WHMIS Training Programs

WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information Systems)Our hands-on approach to WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information Systems) allows participants to not only learn the material, but also to use the required material and demonstrate learned skills.

WHMIS training is essential and, in most cases, is a required element of staff training within companies. Due to a number of requests, we have developed a program that covers the necessary components of staff training and gives employers the necessary information to ensure that ideals are followed in ensuring a safe work environment.

  • WHMIS Full Course Training: 1 day
  • WHMIS Orientation Program: 1/2 day




Alcohol Intervention Program - 'It's Good Business'

Alberta Hotel and Lodging AssociationAs a certification with the AHLA (Alberta Hotel and Lodging Association) and in conjunction with the AGLC (Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission), we are now offering the Its Good Business Program. It offers a full certification and a solid training foundation while meeting industry insurance standards as required.

Although it is not yet mandatory to have F&B staff and management fully trained in this area, insurance companies are almost making it a necessity. Companies from large hotel corporations to neighborhood pubs are finding it a great asset in dealing with the safety and well-being of both staff and guests.

This 1/2 day program includes some practical work, role-playing, group work, video training, some great discussions followed by a final exam that is sent to AHLA upon completion.

Programs are additionally framed to meet your specific needs which may differ somewhat depending on the type of outlet, clientele, staffing levels and so on.

The agenda includes topics that are meant to help managers and servers understand and promote reasonable alcohol services.

This is so important to many of our service-industry clients; understanding that servers and Providers have an inherent legal obligation to ensure the safety of their customers, and of others that they may harm, relating to alcohol sales.
