Understanding how to provide proper first aid or CPR to an injured or unconsious person is important. Accidents can happen at any time which is why we should be prepared. A great way to learn these life-saving skills is to complete a First Aid & CPR training course.
Did you know that many professions require their employees to be first aid and CPR certified? That’s right! Everyone from nurses to office staff may be required to complete a First Aid & CPR training course. In Ontario, many companies are covered by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act (WSIB). These companies must follow Regulation 1101 regarding first aid training and safety requirements.
One of our goals at Coast2Coast First Aid & Aquatics is to provide everyone with some form of First Aid and CPR training, ensuring they are confident enough to assist in an emergency.
Do your employees need to complete first aid training? At Coast2Coast, we offer Private First Aid training courses for groups of eight participants or more. There are many benefits of Private First Aid training compared to public courses. Let’s discuss more below!
What is Private Training?
As a Canadian Red Cross training partner, we are dedicated to provide several WSIB-approved First Aid and CPR courses. Most people do the training in their own time by attending a public course. However, we also provide Private First Aid training. With Private training, we take care of everything for your group!
At Coast2Coast, Private Training is a way for groups of eight or more participants to get trained together. There are many benefits to Private First Aid training such as certifying many employees at once, convenient scheduling, choice of training location/time, amazing discounts and more!
Arranging a Private First Aid training is simple. All you need to do is fill out a form on our website then one of our Private Training specialists will contact you. Once the details of your training are determined, we will finalize your training by booking one of our experienced Canadian Red Cross instructors.
Our highly-trained instructors provide Private First Aid & CPR/AED training to groups of people at their chosen location. If your school, business, home, etc., is unsuitable for the training, we host the training at any of our facilities across Ontario. Clients can choose from several types of training levels, depending on their First Aid requirements. These include:
- CPR/AED Level A/C
- Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
- Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
- Marine Basic First Aid
- Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP)
- Professional Responder programs (e.g. First Responder or Emergency Medical Responder)
- Youth programs (e.g. Babysitting or Stay Safe)
- And more!
On completion, the candidates in the Private First Aid training course receive a WSIB-approved certificate once their invoice has been cleared. First Aid and CPR certificates are valid for three years, and Basic Life Support certificates for one year.
Who Needs Private Training?
Any group of people, whether they are scholars, teachers, employees, medical professionals, friends, or family members wanting to complete a First Aid & CPR or Basic Life Support course, are the perfect candidates for Private First Aid training. Most often, employers who need to certify more than eight employees register for Private First Aid & CPR training.
As mentioned before, many companies are required to train their employees in first aid under WSIB’s Regulation 1101. Private training makes it convenient for them to complete this. Although, Private training is not only helpful for companies; it’s also helpful for groups of friends, families and more!
No one can deny the importance of First Aid training. Many people put it off because they feel they don’t have the time, don’t know how to register for it or think they don’t need it. Private training solves this problem because just one person needs to organize the training for everyone. Then one of our professional instructors arrives at the given date and time to do the training.
First aid training does more than just give you the confidence to help save lives. The person who provides first aid during an emergency offers the victim comfort and helps prevent the worsening of the victim’s situation. The more people within a group who have the training, the better it is for the whole.
Besides giving your group the confidence to care for others, private First Aid training encourages you all to live healthily and safely because of the knowledge and awareness you will learn from the instructor.
What are the Benefits of Private First Aid Training?
There are several benefits of Private First Aid Training:
- It saves time because everyone can take the course together, instead of taking time off separately.
- Everyone is simultaneously prepared to face any emergencies.
- Coast2Coast has fantastic offers and discounts for private training groups.
