What To Expect During FR/EMR Training

Students will practice hands-on skills with the best training equipment around! This training is heavily scenario-based. Students will be required to think on the spot in order to provide the best care for their “patient.” Each student will respond to multiple scenarios under the guidance of an experienced Canadian Red Cross instructor.

Not only will you learn how to perform techniques, you will also learn how to communicate and work as a team. It is important to understand that working together can make the difference between life and death.

During scenario training, students will have the opportunity to act as a primary responder, secondary responder, victim and bystander. Primary responders must give orders to their secondary responder. Each responder must work together to care for the victim. They must also communicate with the bystander and victim to find out more information regarding the incident.

I found the Coast to Coast First Aid and CPR training to be extremely beneficial. We were instructed by Mr. Bruce in the Newmarket area. The session was not only informative but also empowering, and I now feel more confident in my ability to respond effectively in emergency situations

Bruse conducted an intensive full-day class from 9 am to 5 pm, covering Standard First Aid and CPR Level C, and it was exceptional! Despite the long duration, Bruse kept the energy levels high and the content engaging throughout the entire day. His commitment to providing comprehensive instruction was evident, as he patiently addressed every question and ensured everyone grasped the material thoroughly. Bruse’s dedication to teaching and his ability to maintain a dynamic learning environment made the long hours fly by. I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a skilled and dedicated instructor. Thank you, Bruse, for a valuable and memorable training experience. I’ll be returning to Coast to Coast you made it fun and exciting.Truly one if not the best instructors I’ve came across during my many classesShahad
