Online First Aid & CPR/AED Training

How Does an Online First Aid Course Work in Canada?

Online First Aid &
CPR/AED Training

In the 21st century, we are all accustomed to doing the majority of things online; from banking to grocery shopping, even learning different workouts. We should also be able to learn life-saving skills such as CPR online as well. We all want to keep our loved ones safe and take all the necessary measures of precaution to ensure their safety.

We get everyone to wear their seat belts, make sure we cross the road in a safe manner. We keep bandages and medicine at home and at work…but do we really know how to respond to serious injury? When a pot of boiling water causes severe burns? When a child gets cut by a sharp kitchen utensil? When someone trips on the stairs and breaks an arm or a leg?

The Online First Aid & CPR/AED courses are developed to be simple to use, interactive, and effective. Depending on the course you take, whether it’s Emergency Response Training, Basic Life Support training or another one, there are different modules covering important life-saving skills and knowledge. Each module has an examination designed to ensure your understanding of the subject matter. Once completed you will receive a temporary certificate from the Canadian Red Cross which is valid for 60 days. If you wish to receive a WSIB or OHS approved certificate, you will also need to attend an in-class session.

Learn important First Aid and CPR skills with our wide range of levels to meet every need, including those looking to be more prepared for their own health and safety or to keep those around them more prepared. The Online First Aid & CPR/AED courses are delivered in easy-to-follow steps, using interactive components, videos, games and modules and a variety of training materials.

A First Aid & CPR
Program That's
For You!

In today’s world, we can never be too careful, and the sad truth is, keeping ourselves prepared and ready to respond to emergencies is not usually a priority. Sadly, most people would think in an emergency situation that they can act on based on fictional doctor shows or films or what they have heard from others. But is that really enough? We don’t think so.

Looking for a WSIB or OHS Approved Certificate?

If you are also looking to receive the full WSIB or OHS certificate, you would be eligible to upgrade your Online First Aid & CPR/AED training to one of our Online Blended training courses. If you wish to upgrade to the Blended course, you would need to complete the online training and then attend one day in class to complete and receive the full WSIB and OHS approved Canadian Red Cross certificate. You can upgrade to a WSIB/OHS approved Blended course within 60 days of completing your course. Read Eligibility Policies

My instructor, Charlie Cheng, explained everything clearly and made the training easy to understand. He was very helpful and the way he presented the material kept everyone engaged.

Thank you for providing such useful training.

I had Ali as my instructor. He knows how to structure the basic principals of first aid and when to use cpr into an intuitive 8 hour practical lesson. I understood my role and responsibilities as a certified first aid responder. Maintaining someone's life, before the ambulance and paramedics arrive, is an initiative I always wished to take on. I'm glad to be certified and reliable in any case around family, friends, work and strangers.

Coast2Coast is the best.
