    Here in BC, we have a company we use called Global Medical Training. They supplied and trained our Ski Patrol and Security Departments with AED's a couple of years back. They are based out of Vancouver, but with a name like that they may be everywhere.

    I don't know the whole range of thier curriculim, but I know it includes CPR, AED, and advanced first aid, so they may be who you are speaking of. I could dig up thier contact info if you need it.
    Never argue with an Idiot. They drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience!

    Default might be on and the same

    Thanks mcaldwell, I found Global's website again and did some research on whether or not they are from the BC Area, but no such luck, they only state that they have a Strathmore office. They probably are one in the same. This one here doesn't look like they do any of the emergency medical stuff, but tons and tons of firefighting stuff. Most notably the NFPA Municipal Fire Training which I am really interested in. However, thank you very much for the offer of their contact information in BC, but this office is much closer..hehe

    Global in Strathmore is an organization that was set up to train industrial firefighters. They have a great firefield for hydrocarbon firefighting with excellent props. They also specialize in confined space rescue. They have only recently branched out into municipal firefighting.I'm not sure if they offer the full 1001 level II Series yet.

    ESA is not new, they simply relocaed from Edmonton to Sherwood Park.

    Yes, Vermilion is boring to say the least, if you didn't have a liquor problem when you went in you may have one when you leave...

    Mcaldwell... the stories you heard are most likely true, and I bet there are quite a few you havn't heard or seen pictures or video of....

    Heavyduty what EST program do you plan to enter, since they are offering two versions of the program I am curious to what the majority of people are taking...

    Oh, it's fire etc. not Fire Etc. :P

    finally did the interview and it went great, little worried about the entrance exam. I find out tommorow if I am in or not. Then the course starts on the 21 talk about them leaving it to the last minute. I cant sleep thats how worried I am.
