I had a great experience taking the First Aid course with my college. Ali instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and explained the material clearly. The course was informative, practical, and easy to follow. I learned important skills for responding to emergencies, including CPR, AED use, choking, bleeding, and other first aid situations. I feel more confident and prepared to help someone in an emergency. I would highly recommend this course to other students. We passed the test!! Thank you for providing such a valuable learning experience!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Svetlana! 🎉 Congratulations on passing the test! We agree, Ali is wonderful at keeping things clear and practical so you feel ready to step up in an emergency. We're so glad you enjoyed your Standard First Aid course in North York.

Coast2Coast provided a professional training in both the online and in-person portions. They were responsive to my inquiries and had a good selection of training times and locations for the in-person training. Our instructor was welcoming and knowledgeable. The equipment we used to simulate things like AED use, CPR, splinting, and other first aid techniques was clean and modern.

Answers based on Ontario WSIB rules, Canadian Red Cross policy, and Kingston course options.

Most jobs require Intermediate/Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C, the WSIB approved first aid minimum for Ontario workplaces. The card is valid three years. Enroll today.

It teaches resuscitation for all ages, which includes adults, children and infants, plus choking care and AED use.

This blended first aid and CPR program pairs online theory with practical skills: after the online module you attend one day of in person training here.

Arrive at 734 Montreal St (second floor) in comfortable clothing. Free parking is on site. The day typically includes a scheduled lunch break, so bring a lunch or buy one nearby. Expect practical skills work throughout. 

Online registration is easy: view the schedule, select a date that suits you, and register. You can enroll today for a class in Kingston.

We serve residents and individuals across Eastern Ontario, including Napanee and Gananoque, and sit close to the Queen's and St. Lawrence College campus.

Recertification can be completed once, within 90 days of your card's expiry. You must hold a current Red Cross certificate; we cannot recertify cards from other providers.

Two youth courses are taught here: Babysitting for ages 11-15 and Stay Safe! for ages 9-13. Unlike adult cards, youth certification never expires.

Participants can add a two-hour Airway Management module. This training covers suction devices and oral airways (OPAs) for complex breathing emergencies.
