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

Do you have any allergies that could be causing you to sneeze?

Ahmed Elsaid was a fantastic instructor and kept the class engaged.

Dehini Bilal

Cool teacher, happy to be part of them

Melissa Macdonald

The instructors really know their stuff and do a great job of making the material accessible. Several people mentioned that teachers like Azra, Elhamy, Prabhjot, etc., are engaging, clear in their explanations, and really patient with questions.
This isn’t all lecture: there’s a strong practical component. You use manikins, go through realistic scenarios, which helps with confidence and retention of skills.
Clear & Helpful Curriculum
The courses cover the required theory well, and the blended format (online + in‑person) is especially helpful for those who want some flexibility. Many reviews say the online portion is well organized and that the in-person time is used efficiently for skills practice.

G K

Very organized and professional course . One request : please use individual disposable face shields for CPR. It was awkward to use “second hand” ones.

Response from the owner:Hi GK, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re so happy to hear you found the course professional and well-organized, and we hope you feel more confident with your CPR skills. We completely understand your concern. Each student is actually given their own personal one-way valve that attaches to the pocket mask, so you never have to worry about direct contact with equipment used by others. On top of that, every mask is carefully sanitized between classes for extra safety. We really appreciate your input and are always looking for ways to make our training as comfortable and effective as possible. Hope to see you again at our Mississauga first aid training facility for recertification! Stay safe.
