PRESENTATION OF ACADÉMIE SAINT-BERNARD
Your emergency care training partner
Académie Saint-Bernard is a fully online CPR and first aid training center. Born from the union of digital technologies and the expertise of a wealth of experience accumulated over more than 10 years in the fields of paramedic and nursing care. L'Académie Saint-Bernard takes its inspiration from today's technological context to help its customers learn lifesaving techniques.
Our history
How can we offer high-quality CPR and first aid training courses that are accessible to all and adapted to each individual's learning pace?
That's the question Alexandre Grenier asked himself in 2015, when he began to look into the many benefits of e-learning. His goal was to make the training courses offered by his company, founded in 2012, more accessible to all, in order to make a greater contribution to building a safer future. So it was in 2015 that Alexandre rolled up his sleeves to bring his company into the digital age.
In March 2019, with the help of his team of healthcare, emergency and web development professionals, Alexandre was able to see his ambitious project become a reality. The https://academiesb.com website finally went live. After 4 years' work, the Académie Saint-Bernard was ready to offer its first online training course.
Over the following years, its team grew and the company began to benefit from expertise from other fields, such as public communications, graphic design and administration.
In October 2020, the Academy launched its new mobile app ["RCR - ASB"] (https://academiesb.com/application-mobile). In addition to supporting customers in learning and practicing CPR maneuvers, the app was also intended to be able to offer help at their fingertips in the event of an emergency.
In 2022, in response to rising demand and to offer faster, more user-friendly learning tools, Alexandre and his team began work on redesigning the Academy's learning platform. In April 2023, the improved version was officially launched online.
L'Académie Saint-Bernard continues to evolve and establish itself as the benchmark for CPR and first aid training online.
FRONT-LINE TRAINING
