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.

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. Please note that the Canadian Red Cross requires students to complete the multiple-choice exam at the end of their course to officially pass.

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!

Response from the owner:Amy, thanks for leaving your fantastic review! We're very happy that you had an enjoyable training course with us.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the differences between the different types of CPR courses?

There are two different levels of CPR courses: CPR/AED Level A and CPR/AED Level C. Both courses cover the same material. The difference is that CPR/AED Level A only covers how to perform life-saving skills on adults, whereas CPR/AED Level C is more comprehensive and covers CPR/AED for adults, children and infants. Upon completion of either CPR course, you will receive a CPR and AED certification valid for three years.

Do I need to take First Aid classes in Ottawa in addition to CPR?

This depends on your job and/or school requirements. All of our First Aid classes in Ottawa include CPR/AED Level C training. We highly recommend taking Standard First Aid and CPR/AED Level C as this is the highest level of first aid training and the most widely accepted course by employers.

Do you offer any online CPR classes in Ottawa?

We offer CPR classes in Ottawa in an online, blended format and an online-only format. To earn an official WSIB-approved Canadian Red Cross certificate, you must enroll in the online blended format (half online, half in class).
We offer online-only courses, but they do not provide an official certificate. If you want an official CPR certification in Ottawa, you must upgrade your training and complete an in-class component to practice your hands-on skills. You can upgrade the online-only course to the online blended course within three months of completing the online-only training.

Can I take a private CPR class in Ottawa?

We do offer private training for groups of 8+. Our private classes have many benefits, like significant savings on your payments and simple billing. We offer group training for Healthcare Providers, Industry Trades, Schools, Security Guards, Government, Social & Support Services Workers, and so much more!
