Can I claim a first-aid course on my taxes?
Yes, you can. If you are the assigned first aid attendant in your workplace and are required to obtain a first aid accreditation to support emergency situations at work, you might be able to claim courses on tax. However, if your employer covers the cost of your training, whether upfront or through reimbursement, you cannot make this deduction at tax time.
