Where to train near Burlington
Life Safe’s closest fixed venue to Burlington is in Dundas, at 59 Kirby Ave Unit 10B, just west of central Hamilton off Highway 403. From Burlington it’s a quick 15 to 20 minute drive west, with parking on site. The venue already serves Burlington as part of its regular catchment alongside Hamilton, Waterdown, Ancaster, and Stoney Creek.
It’s a dedicated training space with real CPR manikins, feedback equipment, AED trainers, and wound-care supplies for hands-on practice, with small classes so everyone gets manikin time. See the full Hamilton-area local guide for venue details.

Which course should you take?
The right course depends on why you need it.
| You’re taking it because… | Take this course | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Your workplace has 6+ workers per shift | Standard First Aid + CPR C AED | ~14 hours over 2 days |
| Your workplace has 1–5 workers per shift | Emergency First Aid + CPR C AED | 1 day (~7 hrs) |
| You’re a new parent or community member | CPR C AED (or the Free CPR class) | ~4 hours |
| You’re a nurse, paramedic, or healthcare student | BLS (Basic Life Support) | ~5 hours |
| You’re renewing an unexpired card | Recertification (SFA or BLS) | 4–8 hours |
If you’re unsure, Standard First Aid + CPR is the safest choice — it meets almost any Ontario workplace requirement. For a full breakdown, see Standard vs. Emergency First Aid.
