About Us
Our friends call us AHASTI for short.
Alberta Health and Safety Training Institute (AHASTI) has been locally owned and operated here in Calgary by two female entrepreneurs since 2009, however AHASTI has been offering safety training courses successfully since 1996.
AHASTI prides itself on providing quality courses in a professional setting. Every candidate who successfully completes a certification course can rest assured that all program standards including timeframes, course minimum/maximums, facility space, equipment ratios and competency profiles have been met in accordance with our curriculum partners' policies, industry standards, and legislative requirements.
Our clients, participants, students are all provided with a hands on, interactive and learner centered education geared towards building competent and confident responders for each of these lifesaving certifications.
Oh, and you might just have a little fun too!
Our Story
Our leaders are Charna Young and Lianne Sinclair. They originally met on a pool deck while lifeguarding at a wave pool in SE Calgary back in the late 1990's. Over the years they continued being friends and colleagues at various recreation facilities teaching water safety and first aid courses, lifeguarding programs and eventually both joined AHASTI in 2006. Since they were both established in their respective areas and worked well together, they decided to join forces and purchase the company in the Spring of 2009. This new business collaboration combined both their passion for teaching, lifesaving, safety education and mentoring others with their desire to provide quality safety training to the community. This commitment has grown AHASTI into one of the largest Training Partners for the Canadian Red Cross in Canada.
