Local service
Proudly serving Portmore
Portmore is our home base, a sprawling residential community just across the causeway from Kingston. The heat and humidity here are real, and so is the demand for first aid and CPR skills among residents and workers alike. From the busy corridors of Independence City to the quieter lanes of Edgewater, the pace of life is fast, and emergencies don't wait for a convenient time. That's why our courses focus on practical, hands-on training that prepares you to act confidently when it matters most.
Booking a course with us in Portmore is straightforward. You can call or send a message to arrange a session at our training centre in Independence City, or we can come to your workplace, school, or community centre. When you book, we'll confirm the date, time, and number of participants, then send you a reminder before the session. On the day, our instructor brings all the equipment, manikins, AED trainers, and bandages, so you only need to bring yourself and your questions. We keep the class moving, with plenty of practice time.
Jamaica Rescue Academy works across Portmore and the greater Kingston area, so a crew is never far from Portmore. Call (347)-769-4847 or request a free estimate and we’ll come out and take a look.

What Portmore homeowners call us for
First aid basics
In a community as active as Portmore, cuts, burns, and falls happen at home, at work, and on the road. Our first aid courses cover how to handle these common injuries quickly and safely.
CPR and AED
Cardiac arrest can strike anywhere, and Portmore's busy streets and shopping centres are no exception. We teach chest compressions, rescue breaths, and how to use an AED until professional help arrives.
Workplace safety
From construction sites to offices, businesses in Portmore need staff who know how to prevent accidents and respond when they happen. Our workplace safety training covers hazard spotting, emergency procedures, and first aid for the job.
Emergency response
When the worst happens, every second counts. Our emergency response courses prepare you to assess a scene, call for help, and provide care for multiple casualties until the ambulance arrives.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in Portmore

Before work starts
Permits & local rules in Portmore
Local rules vary by street
What is allowed in one part of Portmore is not always allowed in the next, and the rules change. We check what applies to your address before the work is booked rather than assuming.
Permits, when they are needed
Not every job needs one. When yours does, we tell you at the quote stage, what it is for, who applies for it, and how long it usually adds, instead of discovering it halfway through.
