First Aid and Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training is something everyone should think about pursuing. Having this training means you could help save someone’s life or de-escalate an emergency situation so that the outcome is not as serious. There are many reasons to consider CPR First Aid training in London, Ontario, not the least of which is that the person you could be saving is likely someone close to you – a family member, friend or co-worker. Now First Aid and CPR training is available from Coast2Coast.
This post will focus on the non-certification First Aid and CPR/AED training courses that are available in London. Coast2Coast offer both certification and non-certification CPR and First Aid courses, depending on your needs.
If you require a certification to assist in your employment, see this post about our Canadian Red Cross certification courses. You can greatly enhance your employable skills by becoming certified in Level A and C First Aid and CPR/AED. In fact, this training can be a requirement if you are pursuing a career in law enforcement and health care support, among other fields. Coast2Coast offers courses in Standard, Emergency and Marine First Aid. These courses are offered as a blend of online and in-class learning.
You may not require certification and wish to take a CPR and First Aid course in London for your own personal peace of mind. London, Ontario First Aid and CPR training from Coast2Coast is not limited to certification courses, thankfully. Many of our students are expectant or new parents, as well as grandparents, who will be caring for babies and small children. You may have elderly parents who you wish to be able to assist in the event of an emergency. Keeping loved ones safe is a priority for many who take our courses, and our students learn the necessary measures to ensure their safety. Given that heart disease is one of the most common causes of death in Canada, CPR is a valuable skill to have. For those caring for small children, choking is a real hazard and is very scary if you don’t know what to do.
Coast2Coast workshops are ideal for those who do not require an official WSIB approved First Aid and CPR certificate, but still wish to learn live-saving skills.
Coast2Coast also offers First Aid and CPR workshops for those who don’t wish to commit to the full-length or cost of a Red Cross certification course, but still want to learn these valuable skills. These courses are shorter and less in-depth than our other CPR and First Aid courses, while still giving you a solid foundation in the course work. Our workshops are great for those seeking a solid foundation in CPR and First Aid training, as well as those who are looking to expand their skill set for personal use. The London CPR/AED and First Aid workshops are available for public or private training and include the following: Know Your Baby, Baby Emergency Preparedness, and Build Your Own (private training only).
First Aid and CPR for pets is another non-certification that is available from Coast2Coast in London, Ontario. Keeping our pets safe is a top priority and this course is a great way to ensure you have the confidence to assist your pet in an emergency. CPR for pets is actually quite similar as it for humans, but our specific training will allow you to master this training for your cat or dog. Our Pet First Aid course in London is done in partnership with Walk N Wags’. In this course, we cover bone injuries, CPR, poisons, and much more.
Look no further! Coast2Coast also offers private training for its London First Aid and CPR courses. A minimum of eight people can participate in the training of your choice with a Canadian Red Cross instructor. You choose the time and place, and Coast2Coast will do the rest, including bringing our top-notch equipment for your group to practice with. This is an ideal way to have staff trained in a workplace, club or family. Private First Aid and CPR/AED training is available for any of our courses, including non-certification courses.Â
Online learning for all of our blended courses is done from the comfort of your own home, and our in-class First Aid and CPR training can be done at Western in London, Ontario and other locations. Please visit here for a full listing of courses offered in London (click the button below)
Many students who take our courses need to be certified at their jobs, but if that isn’t necessary you can take advantage of one of Coast2Coast’s non-certification courses. You will receive training in amazing life-saving skills, while saving yourself time and money. Register today to expand your First Aid and CPR knowledge or ask one of our customer service representatives which course is right for you!

Our CPR/AED Level A or C courses in Emergency, Standard and Marine Basic First Aid may all be required for employment. Some positions that might require this Canadian Red Cross certification include child youth workers, coaches and instructors, daycare workers, early childhood educators, aesthetician school programs, development services worker, and more.

Having First Aid and CPR training is useful for a number of jobs, to ensure you are able to respond to any emergency affecting people in your care. This type of training is also useful and essential to have in everyday life and should be undertaken by anyone who is able to do it. Having the confidence of this training means you could respond to a number of emergency situations that you could be faced with on a daily basis, both in your professional and personal life. Luckily, you can complete this CPR training in London, Ontario, close to your home.
We do have some people in our midst that are called to do further training and become professional emergency responders. These are the people we all rely on to respond to emergency situations, and their training goes beyond the standard First Aid and CPR courses.
What does it take to be trained as a Professional Emergency Responder and what does this position entail? First responder is a term that typically refers to those who might respond to an emergency, including law enforcement officers, paramedics, Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and firefighters. Emergency Medical Responder (EMRs) are responsible for providing immediate aid to patients before the arrival of EMTs and doctors, or while the patient is being taken to hospital.
EMRs save lives with quick interventions and immediate aid to their injured patients, often providing the first on the scene care that can be crucial to a patient’s survival. They have to provide fast assessments and determine treatment methods normally at the scene of an accident or emergency situation. The people who train as EMRs are able to handle difficult and stressful situations calmly. If that sounds like a position you would be interested in training for, please read on!
Coast2Coast’s Professional Responder Program is well suited to individuals in fields like health care, firefighting and law enforcement. The program is split into four sections that include: first responder, emergency medical responder (EMT), and emergency medical responder recertification/emergency medical responder upgrade.Â
Each of these four courses have varying lengths and different content, and they all involve emergency scenario training. These practical scenarios help students to learn responses and the necessary skills involved in facing emergency situations.
The First Responder course involves 40 hours of training over about four days. Students must demonstrate mastery of the required skills and successfully complete a minimum of one practical scenario. They must also be able to score 75% on the multiple-choice knowledge test and attend 100% of the course. The topics covered in the First Responder course are varied and include everything from responding to a call, to assessment, to what to do in certain scenarios, to lifting and moving patients.
The Emergency Medical Responder course involves a greater commitment than the First Responder course at 80 hours of training over eight days. Similar to the First Responder course, students must successfully score 75% on the multiple-choice knowledge test and attend all of the course training. They must also demonstrate they have learned all the practical skills and complete a minimum of two practical scenarios, one medical scenario and one involving trauma. In addition, EMR students must already be certified in Standard First Aid and CPR. The course curriculum for the EMR covers more extensive topics than the First Responder course, such as pharmacology and transporting patients.
Coast2Coast offers various types of CPR training at their London, Ontario location in addition to the many other courses. Please see here for a full listing of the course catalogue available in London. For a full course listing, please click the button below.
In order to complete the Professional Medical Responder certification, students must also complete the Emergency Medical Responder upgrade course and the First Responder and Emergency Medical Responder recertification courses as needed. Each of these have their own similar requirements of class time, multiple choice test success, demonstration of skills, and 1-2 emergency scenarios.
First Aid and CPR training is extremely useful for most of the population, but a select few choose to continue their education and become certified in the Professional First Responder program. To complete this training is difficult and requires an individual that is able to keep calm under pressure and be adaptable to many different pressures and scenarios. The training is intense but rewarding, and ultimately empowers individuals to become excellent emergency responders. Enroll today to become certified in the Professional First Responder program at the Coast2Coast London, Ontario location.
