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 the best experience with Kia. He was our instructor, he was very thorough and very knowledgeable. I learned so much from him and he made the course so fun. Time flew!

Kia is not your typical instructor he is a doctor by profession, and it shows in every single lesson. What sets him apart is that he does not just teach you how to do things; he explains the why behind every technique, giving you the kind of deep understanding that actually sticks. His medical background brings a level of insight that you simply cannot get from a standard training session.

What truly surprised me was how fast a full-day lecture flew by. Kia has an incredible way of delivering lessons engaging, energetic, and never dull for a single moment. Learning CPR and first aid could easily feel heavy or stressful, but he makes it genuinely enjoyable and even fun. You leave the room not just certified, but truly confident.

Above everything, you can feel that this man has a real heart for helping people. He does not just go through the motions he inspires you to step up, act with good intentions, and genuinely make a difference when it counts. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a first aid and CPR course that is both world-class and deeply human.

I had a fantastic experience taking my first aid course at this center. It was a very engaging and valuable learning day. The instructor, Ali, explained everything clearly, brought great humor to the class, and was incredibly patient in addressing all questions and concerns.
I learned and practiced a wide range of first aid skills, and I now feel much more confident in my ability to help others in emergency situations.
If you’re considering getting your first aid certification, I highly recommend this place!

I recently completed the hybrid online and in-person Standard First Aid and CPR C course, and it was excellent from start to finish. The registration process was smooth and straightforward, and the online learning platform was easy to navigate and well organized.

The in-person portion of the course was equally well run. Our instructor, Azra, was clear, knowledgeable, and very supportive throughout the training. She demonstrated each skill thoroughly and provided helpful guidance while we practiced. I especially appreciated how she explained the rationale behind the care being provided, which made it much easier to understand and remember the steps.

Overall, it was a very well-structured course that balanced online learning with hands-on practice effectively. I would highly recommend this course to anyone needing Standard First Aid and CPR training.

I recently completed the Emergency First Aid/CPR training at this location, and it was a really engaging and enjoyable experience. Our instructor, Joseph, explained complex procedures—like using a tourniquet and placing someone in the recovery position—in a way that was easy to understand. He kept the class interesting by sharing personal experiences and giving us real life situations to act out. I’m really glad we had him as our instructor—he made the 8-hour training feel like it flew by.
Highly recommend this training to anyone, it is such an important skill everyone should have.
Thanks again to Joseph for making it such a great experience.
