CPR Level A and CPR Level C courses
Courses on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillation (AED) provide the skills of recognizing and responding to cardiovascular emergencies and choking for adults, children, and infants, depending on the level of CPR/AED course chosen.
All CPR/AED training includes using an automated external defibrillator to familiarize participants with how the device works. Dealing with circulatory crises such as a heart attack, stroke, or life-threatening external/internal bleeding is also part of the training.
The CPR-A and CPR-C courses share similarities, but there is an important distinction between the two. CPR-A focuses on teaching students how to perform CPR using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and provide assistance specifically for adults. On the other hand, CPR-C encompasses CPR techniques for adults, children, and infants, along with the use of an AED.
Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
Emergency First Aid and CPR/AED course is an 8-hour training program designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills, applicable in both professional and domestic settings. This course equips participants with the necessary knowledge and abilities to identify, prevent, and respond effectively to circulation emergencies primarily involving adults, children and infants. Additionally, the course covers essential topics such as airway and breathing emergencies, as well as wound care.
Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C Courses
The Standard First Aid and CPR/AED Level C course is a 16-hour course that provides first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills for people who need training for employment or want more critical information to respond to home crises. The training covers a wide range of subjects, from the fundamental (circulation and breathing crisis, as well as disease transmission prevention) to the advanced (sudden medical emergencies and head and spine injuries).
Marine Basic First Aid
The Canadian Red Cross Marine Basic First Aid training fulfills all of Transport Canada’s standards and regulations defined in Transport Publication (TP) 13008 E. This 16-hour training course allows participants to receive a rating certificate or endorsement, Master or Chief Mate limited certification, and provide first aid on a near-coastal voyage, class 2, or sheltered waters.
These life-saving skills are taught to assist in identifying, avoiding, and responding to medical emergencies with correct first aid and CPR based on scenarios experienced in the marine/fishing business. Learn Marine Basic First Aid & CPR/AED today to protect yourself and your coworkers!
First Aid & CPR/AED Recertification
If your current Canadian Red Cross First Aid and CPR/AED certificate is going to expire, you should enroll in an OHS (Occupational Health & Safety) approved Recertification course. Students will primarily focus on practicing hands-on skills like CPR, bandaging, and more throughout recertification training.
To be eligible for Recertification training at Coast2Coast, you must have a valid (not expired) Canadian Red Cross certificate. Conditions change depending on the course level you intend to enroll in.
In Alberta, you may recertify the following certifications:
- CPR/AED Level C
- Emergency FIrst Aid & CPR/AED Level C
- Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
Each of these courses can be recertified multiple times. You must enroll in a full training course to recertify any other credentials (such as CPR/AED Level A). This course is not available for recertification.
