COVID-19 First Aid & CPR Training Protocol

All students must complete the Screening Questionnaire (see below) 24 hours before their course. If the answer to any of these questions asked in the questionnaire is YES, please contact us for a one-time free rescheduling.

The Canadian Red Cross societies have also asked all training partners to screen pre-existing conditions such as allergies causing sneezing and reschedule the training if the participant has sneezing/flu-like symptoms. This extra due diligence is requested from partners to ensure all participants feel safe and secure during the course. If this applies to you, consult our office and we will work with you to find the most suitable option.

During Training:

It is recommended that students wear a face mask and a face shield during their training due to group activities that must be performed in the class. Face masks and face shields are not mandatory but recommended. Although, if you are experiencing any symptoms, we request that you do wear a face mask.

What We Do To Keep You Safe:

In an effort to combat COVID-19, Coast2Coast First Aid and Aquatics Inc. has implemented the following procedures:

Students may receive an individually sealed student kit (Triangular bandage, gloves, conforming bandage, gauze pad, adhesive tape)*
Students will receive a one-time-use filter to practice rescue breaths
Implemented use of strong disinfectant solutions to clean surfaces and equipment before and after each training
Increased availability of disinfectant wipes to clean manikins, training equipment, and surfaces during the training
Increased availability of hand sanitizers in class to allow participants for quick hand cleaning

Handwashing:

Handwashing is highly recommended to prevent the spread of viruses and pathogens and you may be asked to wash your hands several times during the training. We recommend proper handwashing during the following instances:

Beginning and end of the class
Before and after meals/snacks

Food and Snack:

Students are allowed to eat and drink in class during breaks. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, please continue wash/sanitize hands prior to handling food and physical distance from classmates.

Textbooks:

During the class, we will not be distributing loaner textbooks in order to prevent cross-transmission of the diseases between students. You may download the PDF version of the book from your confirmation message and use your tablet/laptop/smartphone during the class OR you may purchase a hard copy version. Please understand that these are the only two options feasible at this time; once the situation with COVID-19 is resolved, we may return to our original practice of using loaner textbooks during the class.

Participants should use their own learning equipment each day including, manuals, worksheets, calculators, notebooks, pens, pencils, etc. These items should not be shared with other participants.

After Training:

We recommend that you wash your hands upon leaving our facility. When you get home, we recommend that you change and wash your attire as well before getting in contact with your family members.

COVID-19 Screening Questionnaire

Coast2Coast First Aid and Aquatics Inc strive to ensure the safety of all participants and staff in the classroom during this unprecedented time. All students must complete the Screening Questions. Students are highly recommended to wear a face mask for the full duration of their training, but it is not mandatory. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below, we ask that you do wear a face mask.


Questions	YES	NO
Are you experiencing any of the following: Severe difficulty breathing (e.g., struggling to breathe or speaking in single words) Severe chest pain Having a very hard time waking up Feeling confused Losing consciousness Mild to moderate shortness of breath Inability to lie down because of difficulty breathing Chronic health conditions that you are having difficulty managing because of difficulty breathing Fever Cough Sore throat Runny nose Headache
Do you have any allergies that could be causing you to sneeze?


Close contact is defined as a person who: Provided care for the individual, including healthcare workers, family members or other caregivers, or who had other similar close physical contact without consistent and appropriate use of personal protective equipment; or Lived with or otherwise had close prolonged contact (within 2 meters) with the person while they were infectious; or Had direct contact with infectious bodily fluids of the person (e.g., was coughed or sneezed on) while not wearing recommended personal protective equipment.

LX L

I took the Standard First Aid + CPR + AED training with Hosam on June 18, 2025, and I had a really great experience!

As someone whose first language is not English, I sometimes found it difficult to fully understand some of the technical terms and hands-on instructions. However, Hosam was incredibly patient, kind, and supportive throughout the entire course. He took extra time to explain things clearly and made sure I understood each step. His friendly attitude really made me feel more confident and comfortable.

I truly appreciate his dedication to teaching and highly recommend him as an instructor — especially for anyone who may feel nervous or unsure. Thank you again!

Abdul-Hannan A

Great content. They have a washroom and fridge. Most of the in person content was a repeat of the online content and hence did feel a bit redundant at times. Delivery was a bit unclear at times, but overall well-worded and enjoyable with ample jokes and light-hearted fun. Try to book on a day when parking is free.

Response from the owner:Hi Ana! We strive to offer the best training experience possible, and that is why your review is very important to us!

Luana Shimabukuro

I found the course to be well-structured and informative, providing a solid understanding of the key topics covered. The learning environment was adequate although slightly warm at times and the hands-on approach was a highlight, encouraging active participation and meaningful interaction with both peers and the instructor. This practical focus made the experience engaging and relevant.
One challenge I encountered was accessing the building; I was accidentally locked out on two occasions, which caused some inconvenience. Improving entry instructions or access support could enhance the overall experience.
Despite that, I truly appreciated the quality of instruction and the collaborative atmosphere. I would recommend the course to others seeking a dynamic and immersive learning experience.

Response from the owner:Hi Luana! We strive to offer the best training experience possible, and that is why your review is very important to us! We’re so glad we were able to train you, someone who could potentially save a life in the future. We appreciate you sharing your feedback with us regarding entry to the building and it is something that we’re actively working on to improve with building management. There are instructions on how to enter the building in the confirmation email, though, but we understand that the keypad is a bit tricky. Thanks for choosing Coast2Coast to learn life-saving skills. We hope to see you soon for recertification at our Hamilton first aid and CPR training facility. Stay safe!

sadaam owesome

Thank You, Coast2Coast!

I would like to sincerely thank Coast2Coast for the amazing First Aid and CPR course I completed on July 5, 2025. The course was well-organized and very informative.

A special thanks to Mr. Joseph, our instructor, who was very talented, clear, and easy to understand. He made both the theory and practical parts of the training very engaging.

The training hall was clean, spacious, and comfortable—not hot at all despite the size—which helped us focus and enjoy the session fully.

I truly learned a lot and feel more confident now in emergency situations. I’m excited to share this experience with my family and friends and encourage them to take this important course.
