Heart and Stroke Basic Life Support (HCP) Courses

These healthcare professionals are typically staff members who work in hospitals or pre-hospital settings. Their job is to provide high-quality CPR in a team environment to patients in need.

Those who enroll in Basic Life Support training will learn a variety of life-saving skills such as recognizing cardiac arrest, how to respond quickly and confidently to an emergency, how to perform single and multi-rescuer team CPR and more!

I had a standard cpr training level c with Sharareh and she was so kind and nice! I learned so much from her and she taught very very well and prepared me so much for the test! She’s very good at teaching and clear at instructions and really knows how to get everyone involved in a fun way! I enjoy this so much and I will remember this day throughout my healthcare career. Thank you so much Sharareh!

I had a very informative Basic Life Support course by Mr Rajeev from Coast2coast in Brampton. His delivery was so energetic and informative. I am happy to say it was one of the most relishing and wonderful courses I have ever attended. I would love to attend his lectures next year for the course renewal. It was such a pleasure meeting him.

Rajeev – an amazing instructor, truly. He was so kind, helpful, and never made anyone feel dumb. I’ve learnt a lot from this class, his energy was so great, and it was nice how he remembered everyone’s names in a short period of time, and referred to us by name. Will be coming back next year for my recertification! Wishing him all the best – haniya

I had a great experience in today’s Standard First Aid/CPR-C course; the group was also supportive and communicative. Our instructor was Scott(Etobicoke, Evan’s Av.)—an excellent and well-organized instructor. Our process during the course was well-organized, and all the materials, experiences, questions, breaks, and practice were easy to understand. It gave me the confidence and willingness to help people in any situation, utilizing my skills and training.
Highly recommend.

Saihej G
Rajeev was a great instructor. He has lots of experience and I enjoyed his stories which put into perspective what should be done in emergency situations.
In terms of the course, I think there should be more practical situations for students to demonstrate their knowledge instead of the written test in the end.

We appreciate you sharing your feedback regarding the course and it has been forwarded to our management team.

Amy V
I did the hybrid Standard First Aid + CPR/AED C course. The in-class portion with Lydia was amazing. Lydia was beyond knowledgeable and knew everything about the course like the back of her hand. It was easy to see she was very passionate about First Aid and loves to teach others about it. Every question asked from the class was answered fully. Everyone left the course with the skills and knowledge they need to help out our fellow humans :). I’ll be coming back in three years for the refresher!
