How it all Started

Pair of Medics First Aid has been teaching lifesaving skills for several years, in the northern region of Vancouver Island, BC.

Pair of Medics First Aid Training was originally started because both Chris and Carla working as Primary Care Paramedics with the BC Ambulance Service would arrive on scenes and realize that most of the patients, that were critically ill or injured, could have had some lifesaving first aid provided to them prior to their arrival.

Pair of Medics First Aid brings 24+ years of combined experience to the classroom. Chris and Carla are both certified training instructors with the Canadian Red Cross and are members in good standing with the local Chamber of Commerce.

We provide the highest quality first aid equipment and supplies while offering our students a professional first aid program in a relaxed and fun environment.

After being taught by Chris, Carla, Kevin or Pam, you will not only leave the classroom with the hands-on practice, knowledge/understanding and excitement of being a newly certified first aider, you will leave with a new friendship and be a part of the Pair of Medics family.
