Child Care First Aid

Coast2Coast provides Child Care First Aid and CPR training that follows Canadian Red Cross guidelines. There are two levels of Child Care First Aid, which cover different topics necessary for those who work in child care professions or simply want to learn this important information.

These trainings are great for groups from workplaces or school programs to complete their required training. Our goal is to provide our students with the confidence they need to save a life, which is why our courses are always taught by a Canadian Red Cross instructor who uses top-notch training equipment.

I was a little worried at first of the way the training would proceed , but my trainer Maria Mcguiness was very professional and knew how to make us feel comfortable and she knew her stuff ...I sincerely would take the class again if it was only for her. The training was easy to understand and she was available to assist.

I just did my Red Cross CPR-C + AED renewal, and it was exactly what I needed. The instructor, Nida Farooque, made everything clear and didn’t just rush through. We practiced adult, child, and infant CPR multiple times until we were confident. The AED trainer was exactly like the real one. I highly recommend it to anyone in healthcare, nursing, or PSW who needs yearly renewal. Fast and professional.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Lmia! 🎉 We agree that Nida Farooque is excellent at making sure everyone gets enough hands-on practice to feel fully confident. We are glad you had such a fast and professional experience earning your Red Cross certification in Mississauga. We'd love to help your friends and family get certified too! - The Coast2Coast Team
