Fatima was truly impressive. Her class offered both informative content and interactive engagement. The hands-on guidance reflected patience and professionalism. I would use coast to coast solely to attend her sessions again.

I took my first aid and CPR training at Coast2Coast and had a great experience. The service was well above what I expected, and I left feeling confident in what I'd learned. The instructors know their material, explain things clearly, and were polite and patient with every question. There was plenty of hands-on practice, and the class ran smoothly from start to finish. I'd highly recommend Coast2Coast to anyone who needs first aid training.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Sher! 🎉 We're so glad to hear you left feeling confident and enjoyed the hands-on practice.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Are your first aid courses WSIB approved?

Yes. Our Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C training is WSIB approved, which is the certification most Ontario employers ask for. You receive a Canadian Red Cross certificate valid for three years.

When do I get my certificate?

Your certificate is issued within 48 hours of finishing the course. You get a digital copy you can send to an employer straight away, and it stays available in your Red Cross account.

What is the difference between blended and full classroom?

Blended means you complete the theory online at your own pace at home, then come in for the hands-on day. Full classroom covers everything in person. The certificate is identical either way — pick whichever fits your schedule.

How long is my certification valid?

Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C is valid for three years. Basic Life Support (BLS) is valid for one year, because healthcare employers require an annual renewal.

Can I take a recertification course instead of the full course?

You can recertify if your current certificate is still valid or expired by no more than 90 days, and it was issued by the Canadian Red Cross or an equivalent provider. Bring it with you on the day. If it expired more than 90 days ago you need the full course again.

What should I bring and wear?

Bring photo ID, your existing certificate if you are recertifying, and your online completion record if you booked a blended course. Wear comfortable clothes — you will be kneeling on the floor for the CPR practice.

Can I reschedule or transfer my booking?

Yes — contact us before your class date and we will move you to another date or another location. Our team can also transfer a seat to a colleague if you booked for your workplace.

Should I take BLS or Standard First Aid?

BLS is the healthcare provider level, asked for by hospitals, nursing and paramedic programs and most regulated health colleges. Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C is the workplace certification for everyone else. If your employer or school named one specifically, take that one.
