Very comprehensive and practical training sessions at a reasonable price. The trainer was friendly and knowledgeable. Coast2Coast also shows great flexibility with booking, which is essential for a company of our size with staff on a hybrid schedule.

Coast2Coast First Aid and Aquatics is a recognized business that offers certain First Aid and life-saving related certifications for professionals and anyone who wants to enhance their skill set. They operate out of various sites across Ontario (GTA and Southwestern Ontario) and are partnered up with the Canadian Red Cross. I'm an RN who has practiced for the past decade in an outpatient capacity. I recently acquired a new role and will be heading back to inpatient at a local hospital and as a result, took a full BLS (CPR/AED) course from Coast2Coast out of the Kitchener location. It was very comprehensive and the instructor (PRABH) covered all the related topics and was highly knowledgable with providing rationale. She had a good demeanour and was approachable - great qualities to have as an instructor. RECOMMENDATIONS: - ensure you have registered for the correct course as they have a ton listed on the Canadian red cross site. I recommend calling their customer service hotline - which was very helpful. I couldn't find my old CPR card and so the customer service rep assisted me in moving my registration to the appropriate class. Total cost $73 for the BLS - HCP one which will cover CPR, AED, Choking, etc across the lifespan. - ensure you have your old certification card to show them, valid within 3 years, if not then just register for the course again (4hrs) and pay the $73 bucks (taxes in). - Arrive early, or if you cannot make it then call and cancel or notify the instructor so it doesn't waste the instructor's time or the registered participants. All in all, very good course, easy payment, live customer service representative, and knowledgable instructors (aka. PRABH). Thank you.

I renewed my BLS certification with Coast2Coast. Hetal had a comprehensive lesson for us to refresh our training. She answered every question with perfect clarity and prepared us with all the information to pass the 20 question quiz at the end. It was easy, if you pay attention. I feel confident that any emergency situation I encounter that I can calmly and professionally handle what is required within my level of certification. There are many locations, dates and times to choose from, which is why I chose them, but they are clean, organized and have have well maintained equipment to train on. I will be renewing with them again next year.
Response from the owner:Thank you, L P! 🙏 We agree that Hetal is wonderful at keeping the lessons comprehensive and answering every question with clarity. It is great to hear you feel so confident to handle an emergency and that you enjoyed our clean equipment during your recertification in Scarborough. We'd love to help your friends and family get certified too! - The Coast2Coast Team

I made a mistake while booking and the customer support was great and helped me switch into the correct class. The instructor was informational. I do hope that in the future , they will have female mannequins to practice CPR on, as it has been show that women are less likely to receive CPR due to more bias attached

When an emergency strikes, you may find yourself all of a sudden in a situation out of a disaster film, and the difference between a happy ending and a tragedy may just depend on your knowledge of CPR. When a person stops breathing as a result of drowning, suffocation, or physical trauma (and the hundred other things that can cause this condition), the ambulance will not make it there in mere minutes, which is often all the time you have to revive your loved one. Our first aid and CPR training Canada can give you the confidence you need in situations where every second counts.

  • What is CPR, and what does it do?
  • When is it needed?
  • How is CPR performed?
  • Do you know what to do when someone needs CPR?

The highest percentage of cardiac arrest cases occur at home and in the workplace, which is no surprise since people spend most of their time in those two places. No matter how close the nearest hospital is, the ambulance might not arrive in time, so having someone around who is trained in CPR can make all the difference.

CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, which is a treatment administered when a person is not breathing or not breathing normally. The direct goal of this treatment is to keep oxygenated blood reaching the person’s brain. When someone needs CPR, they really need it.

At Coast2Coast, we offer three levels of First Aid training Canada:

  • Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
  • Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
  • Marine Basic First Aid & CPR/AED Level C

First Aid training is often a requirement for careers or school programs. Depending on your field, you may need to complete a specific course. Confirm what is required with your employer or counsellor.

Mobile Swimming is a great way to learn how to swim in the comfort of your home! If you own a pool or have a community centre with open pool hours, we can send one of our experienced swim instructors to you. Choose a time and date that works best with your schedule! Simply send us an inquiry to get started.
