First Aid & CPR/AED Recertification Courses

Before your First Aid and CPR/AED training certification expires, you need to be on the lookout for recertification courses in the city of Toronto. These refresher courses are shorter in duration but cover the entire aspects of the full First Aid and CPR/AED program; simply, the reason is that we expect our participants to remember some of what they have learned, and we will refresh their understanding through activities and scenario practices.

That’s not the only reason to take this First Aid & CPR Recertification course in Toronto, though. New methods and techniques are developed over time, and the curriculum changes every couple of years in order to improve the efficiency of first aid and CPR/AED. Staying up to date in this field is an absolute must.

The instructors really know their stuff and do a great job of making the material accessible. Several people mentioned that teachers like Azra, Elhamy, Prabhjot, etc., are engaging, clear in their explanations, and really patient with questions.
This isn’t all lecture: there’s a strong practical component. You use manikins, go through realistic scenarios, which helps with confidence and retention of skills.
Clear & Helpful Curriculum
The courses cover the required theory well, and the blended format (online + in‑person) is especially helpful for those who want some flexibility. Many reviews say the online portion is well organized and that the in-person time is used efficiently for skills practice.

Completed my BLS certification last weekend with Ali at Coast2Coast, and it was a great experience! Ali was funny, professional, and informative, and presented the material in a way that made it easy to understand and remember. I'd definitely recommend the BLS class to anyone who's looking to get certified for a career in healthcare!

The central Toronto location on Bloor Street West is very convenient for me and this is the third time I have taken BLS with Coast2Coast. I have also done CPR/BLS with other providers in the past 20 to 30 years. This year, I had Mohammad and he was great and byfar the best instructors of CPR/BLS I have had with Coast2Coast. and one of the best I have had from many different course providers. He was very knowledgeable, clear in his explanations, and managed to make the course fun too.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Online Blended format of First Aid and CPR/AED training is a WSIB-approved Canadian Red Cross course, which is divided into an online component and an in-class session. This format is great for those with busy schedules, as the online component covering the theory and knowledge portion of First Aid and CPR/AED training is flexible and may be completed in the student’s own time.

After students complete the online component, they must attend an in-class session for a shorter duration compared to our traditional All In-Class format. During the in-class session, students will focus on and practice hands-on skills such as CPR, AED, bandaging, and more with one of our highly trained Canadian Red Cross instructors.

This training will teach students how to work in a fast-paced environment, how to work as a team, high-performance CPR, trauma and more.

Automated External Defibrillator (AED) training is included with all Coast2Coast First Aid and CPR training courses in Toronto. An AED is an electronic device that may be used on someone who is experiencing cardiac arrest. While performing CPR on an unresponsive victim with no pulse, you may be required to use an AED. When used correctly, AEDs could mean the difference between life and death for the victim.

You may find an AED in public locations throughout Toronto, such as government buildings, offices, public transit and more! AEDs can be used without proper training, but training is highly recommended as there are many types of AEDs available. Some AEDs provide verbal instructions, whereas others only include written instructions.

If you are interested in purchasing an AED for your workplace or home, contact our sales department and choose from a wide variety of AEDs (sales@c2cfirstaidaquatics.com). Be prepared for an emergency and learn how to properly use an AED by enrolling in a CPR/AED training course!

At Coast2Coast, we provide Canadian Red Cross First Aid and CPR/AED Recertification courses for students who have completed training and now need to renew their certificates. First Aid and CPR/AED certificates are only valid for three years, requiring students to complete a Recertification course prior to the expiration date.

Students may recertify the following courses: CPR/AED Level C and Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C. Those who have completed CPR/AED Level C may complete the Recertification course in Toronto over and over. This training will refresh the student’s memory of performing CPR and using an AED on an adult, child, or infant. On the other hand, Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C can only be recertified once, meaning students must alternate between a full course and a Recertification course. Re-learn first aid and CPR/AED skills with a Canadian Red Cross instructor.

Recertification courses will primarily focus on hands-on skills, occasionally teaching students new and improved techniques from the last time they completed a course. Feel more confident in your life-saving skills, and enroll today!
