Equipping employees with the skills and knowledge they need.

First Aid & CPR Training is critical to ensuring employee safety.

Licensed CPR & First Aid Instructor

Comprehensive CPR certification and training.

My name is Melissa Lawson and I am the owner of First Response First Aid & CPR Training here in Winnipeg, MB. I am a licensed CPR & First Aid Instructor for the Heart and Stroke Foundation specializing in all levels and ages of training.

*I'm also approved by the WSH Branch of the Manitoba Government as a WSH Approved Training Provider.

What sets me apart from all other facilities?
I am one of only a couple of instructors who actually work in the field. I am an advanced care paramedic.

My courses are taught in a timely fashion to make sure that the training is extensive and that your employees are back to work quickly. I am mobile, so I am available to come to your facility to offer training on-site! If coming to your facility does not work I also have a location to offer off-site training as well.

I specifically teach companies that need CPR certification and training to meet licensure standards.

Sharing my experiences as an as an Advanced Care Paramedic Practitioner with the City of Winnipeg

I teach skills that can be used and applied in real life situations.

"When teaching my course, I draw on my experience as an Advanced Care Paramedic Practitioner with the City of Winnipeg to provide examples of when and how the skills I teach can be used and applied in real life situations. I also find the stories I share help to keep the students engaged and actively participate in my courses.Based on my experience I make sure that I provide additional focus on the most relevant skills and information that pertain to my students in the work that they do.

I always look to deliver my course in the most efficient manner possible and minimize unnecessary breaks and distractions. As a business owner myself I understand the value of time and that everyone has busy schedules."
