Where to train near Mississauga

Life Safe’s closest fixed venues to Mississauga are in Toronto. The downtown location at 222 Spadina Ave Unit 231, at the Spadina and Dundas intersection, is reachable from Mississauga by car via the QEW or Gardiner, or by GO Transit to Union Station with a quick TTC streetcar connection (the 510 Spadina or 505 Dundas). See the downtown Toronto local guide for full venue details, and the Toronto courses page for the schedule.

The venues offer real CPR manikins, AED trainers, wound-care supplies, and small class sizes so everyone gets hands-on time.

On-site training for Mississauga workplaces

Mississauga is full of corporate offices, warehouses, and businesses near Pearson Airport and along the 401, 403, and 407 — and for many of them, the simplest path to certification is having Life Safe come to them. On-site group training certifies your whole team at your Mississauga workplace, on your schedule, with the same content and WSIB-approved certification as in-class training.

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 C AED is the safest choice — it meets almost any Ontario workplace requirement. You can also book CPR Level C & AED on its own, BLS for healthcare workers, or a free community CPR class. For a full breakdown, see Standard vs. Emergency First Aid.

What to bring

Renewals and recerts

If your card hasn’t expired, take a shorter recertification course instead of repeating the full one — see our post on certificate expiry. Once expired, most agencies require the full course again.
