How to Arrange Group First Aid Training in Montreal
Bring your team together to learn first aid and CPR. Tell ActionBafoly which course you need, how many people will attend, and your preferred place and date. The group training form shows your course-fee total. You can send a request or pay the course fees now. ActionBafoly then confirms your date and the training details with you.[1]
Start with the reason for training
A school may want staff to practise first aid together. A workplace may need a specific certificate for a job. A community group may want volunteers ready for an event. These are not always the same request.
If a job or licence calls for a certificate, ask for the exact course name, certificate issuer and rules that apply before choosing. In Quebec, the CNESST says designated workplace first aiders must use a recognized training organization. In Ontario, check the WSIB first aid program and the provider pathway for your workplace. A general CPR class is not an automatic substitute. ActionBafoly does not offer CNESST training; ask for help finding the right path rather than assuming its group form meets that need.[3][4]
If the goal is general skills, say that too. The instructor can then discuss which available course fits your group. A course still has its own required teaching and practice; a group request does not turn it into an unlisted custom certificate.
Follow this group-planning path
| Step | What your organizer does | What still needs a reply or decision |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Define the goal | Ask the school, employer or group which skills or certificate matter. | Check any required issuer or local rule. |
| 2. Count the people | Give an estimated number, their course language, and whether some need a first course or a renewal. | Confirm the right course and how learners can be placed. |
| 3. Pick a place and date | Give your city or postal code, a venue preference and a date at least seven days ahead. | ActionBafoly checks the date, place, instructor and travel plans. |
| 4. Review the cost | See the course-fee total on the form, or send a request without paying. | Agree separately to any venue, travel or material costs before they apply. |
| 5. Get ready | Once arrangements are confirmed, share arrival details and protect time for practice. | Confirm the final roster, learner instructions and certificate steps. |
The group form lets you choose a course or “Help me choose,” enter the number of learners and ask for training in English or French. You can send a request without paying or choose to pay course fees now. Either way, ActionBafoly still needs to confirm the date and arrangements. Venue, travel and materials are separate terms that need your agreement.[1]
Make the request easy to answer
For a school staff day, list the number of people, the ages they work with, the exact certificate the school asks for, a preferred language and a few possible dates. For a workplace with two shifts, say how many people can leave each shift to train. For a community group, give the event date and whether volunteers need a course certificate or just want to build skills. These details help start a useful conversation; they do not prove a course meets a legal rule.
If you want training at your site, name the city and ask what space is needed for hands-on practice. You can also ask about a place arranged by ActionBafoly. The business is based in Montreal; group training in selected Eastern Ontario communities depends on the course, group size, schedule and travel plans.[1] Do not send medical details or payment information in the open questions box.[1]
Common questions
Do we need seven people?
No fixed seven-person minimum is stated on the live group page. It says groups of seven or more get a discount on course fees; smaller groups pay the listed course rate. Ask about your actual group size and availability. The offer can change, so check the current form before paying.[1]
Does paying hold our preferred date?
No. The live form says payment covers course fees; ActionBafoly will still confirm the date and training arrangements. If your date is critical, send a request without paying first and ask what is possible.[1]
Can we use one class for first-time learners and renewals?
Tell ActionBafoly who needs the full course and who needs renewal. Eligible renewal learners may join the same teaching day, with their own attendance times. The instructor confirms the right arrangement for your course.
Who issues a certificate?
For an eligible Canadian Red Cross course, ActionBafoly delivers the training and submits successful course results; the Canadian Red Cross issues the certificate. Ask which exact course and issuer your group needs, and confirm acceptance with the school, employer or other body that asked for it.
Take the next step
Use the group training form to share the goal, headcount, language, city, venue preference and preferred date. Choose “Send a request without paying” if you need to settle course or location details first. For another question, use the contact page.[1]
First aid training helps people respond while emergency help is on the way. In an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number.
