    First Aid & CPR — Windsor FAQs
    Standard First Aid & CPR Level C is what most Windsor workplaces, daycares, and St. Clair College programs require under Ontario OHSA. Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C is a shorter option suited to Windsor security guards and PSWs who are not the primary workplace first aider in their Essex County workplace.
    Yes. WSIB approved training is available through our Windsor First Aid and CPR/AED courses. These courses meet Ontario OHSA first aid requirements for most workplace settings.
    Yes. All CPR Level C and First Aid courses include hands-on training with an automated external defibrillator (AED). You will practice AED use during the in-class skills session at our Windsor Howard Ave facility, using professional-grade training equipment.
    Yes. Canadian Red Cross First Aid and CPR Level C certification is valid for 3 years. After that you can take a recertification course in Windsor — you do not need to repeat the full course unless your certification has been expired for more than 3 years or was previously obtained through a recertification course.
    Yes. Blended learning lets you complete the theory portion online at your own pace, then attend only the hands-on skills session at our Windsor Howard Ave location. This is the most popular format for automotive workers, St. Clair College students, and University of Windsor healthcare students across Windsor-Essex.
    Yes. You are eligible for a free skills practice retake within 90 days at no extra cost if you do not pass on your first attempt. Our 99.99% pass rate means nearly all Windsor students certify on their first attempt at 2679 Howard Ave Unit 102.
    Yes. With 100+ course dates weekly, weekend and evening sessions are regularly available at our Windsor Howard Ave location. Check the booking page for the latest available First Aid and CPR Level C course dates in Windsor and Essex County.
    Yes. Canadian Red Cross certificates are recognized by virtually all Ontario employers, WSIB, municipalities, and licensing bodies — including Windsor Regional Hospital, major automotive manufacturers on EC Row, the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board, and Essex County organizations. If your employer has a specific requirement, contact us before you book.
    Yes. Our Windsor facility at 2679 Howard Ave Unit 102 is conveniently located near Devonshire Mall and accessible by Windsor Transit. Ample free parking is available on site for students who drive — making it easy to reach from any Windsor neighbourhood or from nearby communities in Essex County.
    Yes. If your CPR Level C or First Aid certification is still valid on the day of your class, you can take the shorter recertification course in Windsor. However, Red Cross guidelines require your certificate to be valid on the actual day of your recertification class — if it has expired, you must complete the full course instead. Both options are available at our Windsor Howard Ave facility.

    Who is this for? Nurses, nursing students, paramedics, physicians, dental professionals, physiotherapists, respiratory therapists, lifeguards, sports medicine staff, and all healthcare and pre-hospital care providers in Windsor who need a current Basic Life Support card.

    BLS — Windsor FAQs
    Yes. Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP) is the current designation that replaced the older CPR-HCP credential. Most Windsor hospitals and clinical employers — including Windsor Regional Hospital and Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare — now specifically require BLS certification rather than standard CPR Level C.
    Yes. Canadian Red Cross Basic Life Support certification is accepted by most hospitals and clinical employers in Windsor, including Windsor Regional Hospital and Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare. We recommend confirming with your specific employer or school program coordinator prior to booking your BLS course in Windsor.
    Yes. Basic Life Support certification is valid for exactly 1 year and must be renewed annually — unlike First Aid and CPR Level C which is valid for 3 years. Annual BLS renewal is a strict requirement for most healthcare roles in Windsor and Windsor-Essex County.
    Yes. BLS is the required HCP-level CPR course for nursing, medical, and allied health students at the University of Windsor and St. Clair College. No prerequisites are required for the initial BLS course, making it accessible for students beginning their clinical placements across Windsor and Essex County.
    No. In most cases the two courses together exceed a single training day. We recommend checking available schedules at our Windsor facility at 2679 Howard Ave Unit 102 to find consecutive same-day or next-day options that fit your healthcare schedule.
    Yes. BLS includes hands-on training with an automated external defibrillator (AED) as well as team-based CPR skills, bag-valve-mask use, cardiac arrest recognition and response, and rapid defibrillation techniques — all designed for clinical and healthcare environments in Windsor.
    Yes. A blended BLS option is available where pre-reading and knowledge content can be reviewed online before the in-class skills session at our Windsor Howard Ave facility. Check the Windsor BLS booking page for current blended session availability and scheduling.
    Basic Life Support is designed exclusively for healthcare providers and focuses on high-performance CPR, team resuscitation, and clinical emergency response including cardiac arrest management. Standard First Aid & CPR Level C is a broader course for general Windsor workplaces and community settings and is not healthcare-specific.
    No. PSWs in Windsor typically require Standard First Aid and CPR Level C rather than BLS. Basic Life Support is specifically required when the employer is a clinical organization such as Windsor Regional Hospital or Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare. If you are unsure which course applies to your role, contact us and we will help you choose the right option.
    Yes. BLS sessions in Windsor are held at our dedicated training facility at 2679 Howard Ave Unit 102, Windsor, ON N8X 3X2 — near Devonshire Mall and EC Row Expressway, with ample free parking and wheelchair-accessible entry. Sessions are bookable through our online registration page.

    Frequently Asked Questions — Coast2Coast First Aid CPR Windsor

    Get quick answers before booking your First Aid, CPR, Basic Life Support, or responder course in Windsor.

    A: Yes. All courses at our Windsor facility are WSIB approved and meet both provincial and federal occupational health and safety requirements. First Aid training is essential for workplaces to comply with legal requirements, ensuring that first aid boxes and stations are managed by certified individuals — and our Canadian Red Cross certificates satisfy those obligations for every Windsor employer, from automotive plants to healthcare settings.
    A: Yes. Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C is a one-day basic course focusing on essential life-saving skills — ideal for Windsor security guards and PSWs who are not the primary workplace first aider. Standard First Aid & CPR Level C is the comprehensive option, equivalent to a two-day in-class course or blended equivalent, and is required by Windsor daycares, St. Clair College programs, and most Ontario workplaces. The Canadian Red Cross offers both levels, and both are WSIB approved to meet workplace safety requirements across Essex County.
    A: Yes. Courses are available in blended (online and in-class) or traditional all-in-class formats. Blended learning allows participants to complete theoretical components online from home at their own pace, then attend only the practical skills session at our Windsor facility — making it more accessible for busy schedules. Traditional all-in-class training involves 100% in-person instruction for both theory and practical skills. Enroll in the format that works best for you — both options are available to book today at 2679 Howard Ave Unit 102.
    A: Yes. Basic Life Support is a critical training course designed for healthcare professionals, focusing on emergency response in clinical environments. The BLS course covers high-performance CPR, rapid defibrillation, and critical airway management techniques, with hands-on practice at our Windsor Howard Ave facility. BLS certification is valid for one year, requiring annual renewal to ensure healthcare professionals are up to date with the latest protocols. Most Windsor employers such as Windsor Regional Hospital and Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare require BLS rather than standard CPR Level C.
    A: Yes. Registration for courses can be done online or via phone — simply fill out your details, select your course date, and complete checkout in minutes. Our Windsor facility operates generally Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM, with weekend sessions regularly available. Your Canadian Red Cross certificate is issued within 48 hours of successfully completing your course — significantly faster than most Windsor-Essex providers, who can take 7–10 business days. CPR and AED certifications from the Canadian Red Cross are valid nationwide for three years.
    A: Yes. Coast2Coast offers private and group First Aid, CPR Level C, and Basic Life Support training for Windsor businesses with 8 or more participants. CPR/AED certification can be delivered on-site at your Windsor or Essex County workplace to help teams meet workplace safety requirements without leaving the building. Join the many Windsor employers already training with us — our Canadian Red Cross certified instructors bring all equipment to your site, with volume discounts up to $40 per student, WSIB compliant certificates, and centralized billing included.
    A: Yes. Coast2Coast maintains a 99.99% student success rate across all Windsor public and private courses, including CPR Level C, Standard First Aid, and Basic Life Support. Students who do not pass on the first attempt are eligible for a free skills practice retake within 90 days. We also offer two Youth programs for younger students: Babysitting, designed for teens aged 11–15 years, and Stay Safe, intended for pre-teens and teens aged 9–13 years. Participants in both Youth programs receive a certificate upon completion that does not expire, providing them with essential skills for safety and emergency situations.
    A: Yes. Our Windsor training facility at 2679 Howard Ave Unit 102 serves students from across Windsor and Essex County — including South Windsor, Walkerville, Forest Glade, Riverside, Sandwich, South Walkerville, LaSalle, Tecumseh, and Amherstburg. First Aid training is available for various demographics including workplaces, schools, and community groups. We also offer Marine Basic First Aid, which is approved by Transport Canada and designed specifically for maritime workers. Whether you are training at home base or commuting from across Essex County, our Howard Ave location is easy to reach with free parking on site.
    A: Yes. Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) training is an advanced 80-hour program covering complex trauma management, advanced life support techniques, airway management, spinal injuries, and cardiovascular emergencies. Professional Responder courses include scenario-based training to simulate high-pressure emergency situations, allowing students to practice critical decision-making and hands-on skills. These programs are designed for individuals in first responder roles — including firefighters with Windsor Fire & Rescue Services, paramedics with Essex-Windsor EMS, policing applicants, and healthcare workers. Enroll at our Windsor Howard Ave facility starting at $944.99 — contact us today to find your right course level.
    A: Yes. We offer a Best Price Guarantee — find a cheaper identical WSIB approved course from any Windsor or Essex County provider and we will beat that price by up to 10%. On recertification: Canadian Red Cross first aid certifications are valid nationwide for 3 years, after which recertification is required to maintain certification status. To be eligible, students must have a valid (not expired) Canadian Red Cross certificate that is not from a previous recertification course. Red Cross guidelines require that your current certificate must be valid on the actual day of your recertification class — if it has expired, a full course must be retaken. Recertification courses are available for Standard First Aid and CPR/AED Level C. Join us and fill out our easy online registration form to get started today.
