Coast2Coast First Aid and Aquatics Inc now offers its extensive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and First Aid training in London, Ontario. Coast2Coast is a company that was founded by two experienced Canadian First Aid and Water Safety instructors with the goal to provide CPR and First Aid education to promote life-saving skills and increase awareness about the need for this training. Courses are available in the Greater Toronto Area, as well as many other parts of the province, including London, Ontario.
Why should you have CPR and First Aid training?
We all know that accidents and emergencies can happen at any time to anyone. Despite this, not everyone is trained in CPR/AED (automatic emergency defibrillator) and First Aid. CPR can be essential in cardiovascular emergencies and choking situations. Each year in Canada, more than 300,000 die of cardiac arrest and that 35 to 55 percent of these incidents are witnessed by a family member, co-worker or friend. Breathing emergencies like choking are a leading cause of injury-related death in children, and choking is the fourth leading cause of unintentional injury death overall (US statistic, National Safety Council).
We know emergencies happen when you least expect, and that CPR and First Aid knowledge training can save lives. It can also prevent injuries from getting worse before medical attention is sought. So why aren’t more people trained in CPR and First Aid? Many people either don’t think they have time to take courses or believe they know enough of the basics of First Aid and CPR to get by. We know from the statistics that the majority of these emergency situations will happen at home and at work, so proper training can save the lives of the people closest to you. If you are on the scene of a First Aid or CPR emergency away from home, you would also have the opportunity to help.
And now getting the necessary training to properly respond to an emergency isn’t as hard as you might think. In fact, it’s easier than ever with CPR and First Aid training in London, Ontario, in addition to Coast2Coast’s other Ontario locations. Coast2Coast courses allow you to be trained in your community, and now the full Red Cross certified CPR and First Aid courses are available in London, Ontario.
What First Aid and CPR courses are available in London, Ontario?
There are a wide variety of CPR and First Aid courses available from Coast2Coast in London, and this post focuses on the Canadian Red Cross certification courses we have to offer. Red Cross certification courses allow participants to become trained and certified, with a certificate offered following course completion. Coast2Coast also offers recertification courses so your skills never go out of date.
Our CPR and First Aid courses are offered in blended format. The two sections of the blended class format are online learning and in-class study, with students learning the theoretical aspects of the classes online through the Red Cross and the practical training in an in-class format. The in-class sessions in London will cover all the practical aspects of the training, including practising with high-quality equipment and training with emergency scenarios. All of Coast2Coast’s programs are certified by the Workspace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) for Ontario workplaces.
Coast2Coast's CPR and First Aid certification courses
Coast2Coast offers First Aid and CPR courses in London in Standard and Emergency First Aid.
These courses are perfect for those who require CPR and First Aid training for their workplace, including for daycare workers, early childhood education and school workers, construction workers, babysitters and nannies, child youth workers, developmental services workers, and coaches and program instructors. Other London, Ontario CPR and First Aid instructor training available is in Marine Basic First Aid, ideal for anyone working or playing on the water.
Our London youth course is dedicated to helping local youth complete the Canadian Red Cross babysitting and Stay Safe! program. These courses provide a solid knowledge base to youth and teach the necessary leadership and safety skills to either be on their own or also looking after smaller children.
The CPR/AED and First Aid courses listed above are Red Cross three-year certification courses and you receive a Red Cross certificate upon completion. Because this certificate expires within three years of your training, it is important to enroll in a London First Aid and CPR recertification course with Coast2Coast before your expiration date. We also offer recertification courses in London, Ontario for CPR and First Aid training.
Basic Life Saving (BLS) is also available from Coast2Coast as a CPR and First Aid course in London. This is a course designed specifically for those in health care workers and should be registered separately from First Aid and CPR training. Participants in this course also have the option of adding oxygen therapy and airway management to their training as well. The BLS course is ideal for anyone working in health care, including pre-hospital care providers, fire and rescue workers, lifeguards and ski patrollers. BLS is a one-year certification course.
