My time at the Coast2Coast Mississauga location was nothing but amazing.

I was receiving my Standard First Aid CPR/AED Level C certification. I have had multiple experiences with obtaining and renewing CPR certifications with other companies, including other locations and instructors within Coast2Coast, however, I can confidently say that this was the best experience I have had.

This is all due to the incredible instructor I had, Andrea. She was very thorough in her analysis, her examples resonated perfectly to real life scenarios that we would be facing and her teaching methods really aided in understanding the content and making sure you were experts by the end of the class. She is professional, engaging and really brings the content to life where you get the most out of learning all the fundamentals and facets of the course.

If you want an amazing experience like I have, I highly recommend the Mississauga location and having Andrea as your instructor.

Thank you again Andrea for going over and above and providing your expertise and knowledge. I am so grateful to learn from such an amazing instructor and person! And look forward to hopefully doing my recertification with you in the future. And to Coast2Coast management, you definitely have yourself a great one!

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 and OHS 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.

To take advantage of the bundle discount, you must register for two separate courses:
1. Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C OR Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C

Frequently Asked Questions

When an emergency strikes, you may find yourself all of a sudden in a Disaster Film situation and the difference between a happy ending and a tragedy may just depend on your knowledge of CPR, When a person stops breathing as a result of drowning, suffocation, physicals trauma (and the hundred other things that can cause this condition), the ambulance will not make it there in mere minutes, which is often all the time you have to revive your loved one.

  • What is CPR and what does it do?
  • When is it needed?
  • How is CPR performed?
  • Do you know what to do when someone needs CPR?

The highest percentage of cardiac arrest cases occur at home and in the workplace, which is no surprise, since people spend most of their time in those two places. No matter how close the nearest hospital is, the ambulance might not arrive in time, & you will need to have someone around who is trained in CPR.

BLS training is a 4-hour course that provides healthcare professionals in-depth training on how to perform CPR in a fast-paced environment such as a hospital. Students will learn a variety of skills ranging from high-performance CPR, using an AED, how to work as a team and more.

At Coast2Coast, we offer three levels of First Aid training:

  • Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
  • Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
  • Marine Basic First Aid & CPR/AED Level C

First Aid training is often a requirement for careers or school programs. Depending on your field, you may need to complete a specific course. Confirm with your employer or counsellor regarding this.

Mobile swimming is a great way to learn how to swim in the comfort of your home!
