Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition and Assessment (PEARS) Courses

The Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition and Stabilization (PEARS) training courses are similar to Basic Life Support (BLS) training, but focuses more on infant and child patients suffering from respiratory distress, cardiac arrest and more.

Along with BLS training, PEARS provides healthcare employees life-saving skills needed to improve the outcomes of patient lives. It is an initial response to life-threatening cases which is later followed by more advanced patient management including Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) or Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).

Healthcare providers who need PEARS training will learn various skills such as high-quality CPR for children and infants, respiratory emergencies and more. Those who need PEARS training include healthcare providers or first responders in schools, health centres, etc.

I recently took a Basic Life Support (BLS) course led by Azra, and it was a great experience. The course was straightforward, easy to follow, and very well organized. Azra did an excellent job as an instructor—she explained everything clearly, answered questions patiently, and made sure everyone felt confident in their skills. Her calm and encouraging teaching style made learning CPR and emergency response techniques much less intimidating. Overall, I’d highly recommend this course, especially with Azra as the instructor.

Gingerchicken

Our Instructor Hetal Patel was very informative and knowledgeable. She made the learning very simple interactive and engaging which really helped reinforce our online learning. We got to apply our online knowledge in a practical way, learning all of the essential skills of a First Aider. She was very patient and challenged us to think critically and made the course very entertaining. I 100% recommend taking any First Aid/CPR course with her, as she helped raise my confidence to apply the skills I learned.

First Aid & CPR/AED Training

Along with Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP) training, Coast2Coast also offers First Aid and CPR/AED training courses that follow the Canadian Red Cross guidelines. Our two first aid training courses are Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C as well as Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C. Each of these courses are offered in the Traditional All In-Class format or the Online Blended format.

Each of our First Aid and CPR/AED courses are WSIB approved and taught by one of our highly trained Canadian Red Cross instructors. Practice hands-on skills such as wound care, CPR, bandaging and more with top-notch equipment, guaranteed to make you feel confident in your life-saving skills.

Currently, our First Aid and Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP) courses are held separately as of April 2019. First aid training will cover basic to advanced skills as well as CPR, AED and choking for adults, children and infants. Our Basic Life Support course will have some overlap of skills, but will primarily focus on high-intensity CPR, BVM, how to work in a fast-paced environment with a team and more.

First Aid + BLS Bundle

Many students who require Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP) training also require first aid training. If you require both trainings for your school program or workplace, you may be eligible for our BLS bundle discount!

To take advantage of the bundle discount, you must register for two separate courses:

Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C OR Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP)

This discount will be applied to the Basic Life Support registration, reducing the price to $39.99+HST per person.
