What is Marine First Aid?

Marine First Aid training courses are for those who work in marine environments and require first aid and CPR/AED training. These courses will cover a variety of topics ranging from head and spine injuries, airway emergencies, environmental emergencies and more!

Understanding and knowing how to perform first aid and CPR/AED skills is an important aspect of working in the marine or fishing industry. Depending on your job, there may be times where you do not have access to a doctor or hospital for a long period of time but require first aid. Our training courses will not only provide you the skills and knowledge required to assist others with various emergencies, but also ensure your confidence while doing so, keeping you and your co-workers safe.

Marine Basic First Aid

Coast2Coast offers the Canadian Red Cross Marine Basic First Aid course, which meets all the standards and requirements of Transport Canada outlined in Transport publication (TP) 13008 E. This is a comprehensive 16 hours, two day training course which allows the participant to earn a rating certificate or endorsement, Master or Chief Mate limited certification, provide first aid on board a vessel engaged on a near-costal voyage, class 2, or sheltered waters.

These life-saving skills are taught to help identify, avert and respond to medical emergency situations with proper first aid and CPR revolving around scenarios encountered by the marine/fishing industry. Keep yourself and your co-workers safe and learn Marine Basic First Aid & CPR/AED today!

I had a great experience with the CPR & First Aid training. The instructor, Kia, was amazing. Not only did he teach us the necessary skills, but he also explained the reasoning behind each step, which made a huge difference in understanding.

The course was very instructive: it felt like a blend of human anatomy, hands-on training, and even some physics. Because of this approach, I now have a much deeper understanding of why we perform certain techniques, not just how to do them.

I feel much more confident and prepared to use these skills if needed, and I truly appreciate the quality of the training.

I had a great experience with the CPR & First Aid training. The instructor, Kia, was amazing. Not only did he teach us the necessary skills, but he also explained the reasoning behind each step, which made a huge difference in understanding.

The course was very instructive—it felt like a blend of biology, hands-on training, and even some physics. Because of this approach, I now have a much deeper understanding of why we perform certain techniques, not just how to do them.

I feel much more confident and prepared to use these skills if needed, and I truly appreciate the quality of the training.

Jan was awesome! Spent a whole day with her and she made it fun and informative. Lots of hands on learning (which in my opinion is the best way to learn) and fun games to keep everyone engaged. Coast2Coast website made it super easy to book. I didn’t recieve my online course after waiting the 24 hours, so I sent an email to customer service & they were extremely prompt to help and send it over. No complaints whatsoever! Hoping when I get my recert, I’ll have Jan again!

Thanks to the whole Coast2Coast team!

I took a First Aid course with Ali S. at the Newmarket location, and it was a great experience. He created a comfortable and welcoming environment right from the start and made the class engaging and easy to follow. The session was interactive, and all topics were explained clearly and thoroughly. Ali is a great instructor, and I would highly recommend him.

A few tips to be successful in this class: make sure you arrive on time, both at the start of the day and after breaks and lunch, as the course moves at a steady pace. Being interactive is also really important. If questions are asked, be sure to respond and participate. It not only shows engagement but also helps you better understand and apply the material. Staying focused, asking questions when you’re unsure, and actively taking part in scenarios will really help you get the most out of the course.

I just completed standard first aid with CPR/AED level C. The course itself is also very in depth, covering all topics I would expect to encounter in the office, in the field, and in day to day life. Maria is an excellent instructor, providing in depth and knowledgeable answers to all of my questions, and respectful guidance on course subject matter.

I've been with Coast2Coast for atleast 3 years now and I've had Walaa twice so far as my instructor and she is always so awesome! The layout of the course was well organized and she was very knowledgeable. She helps us understand why we're doing what we're doing with Standard First Aid and CPR vs just teaching us the tools only to pass the test.
Response from the owner:Hi Laura! We would like to thank you on behalf of our team for trusting us with your training needs. We’re happy to see that you enjoyed your recent training course with us. Emergencies can happen at any time and we’re glad you took the steps to become more prepared. We hope you learned a lot and left feeling confident in your life-saving skills. See you soon for recertification! Stay safe.

I took a First Aid course with Coast2Coast today, and honestly it was a really great experience—mostly because of our instructor, Prabh.

She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and never rushed through anything. If someone had a question, she took the time to answer it properly, which made the whole class feel a lot more comfortable. You can tell she really knows her stuff, but also cares about making sure everyone actually learns.

I also liked how hands-on and interactive the class was. It didn’t feel boring or overly serious—she kept things engaging the whole time.

Overall, I learned a lot and feel much more confident now. I’d definitely recommend taking a course with Prabh if you get the chance!

The hands-on practice was especially helpful in building confidence with CPR and AED use. The course was well-organized and very relevant for healthcare professionals. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality BLS training.

A big thank you to our instructor, Edward. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and engaging throughout the session. He explained everything clearly, made the training interactive, and ensured everyone felt confident practicing the skills.
I walked away with not only valuable life-saving knowledge, but also the confidence to actually apply it in real situations. It was a very hands-on and practical learning experience, and I genuinely learned a lot of new skills. Most recommended!!

Instructor was very professional and taught us the course very well. I like the course and would recommend anyone to go for it. Don’t go for the extras that they ask you when you pay for cpr as it’s not mandatory. If you want to learn how to save a life for a family member in emergencies, go for it.
