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!

Amazing experience at the Bloor St. location. Completed the standard first aid and cpr course with Scott and he was simply fantastic. Clear and informative with excellent pacing the class was better than I could have expected. I hope everyone gets the chance to learn from him! Will definitely be coming back here for my recertification.

I had a great time being taught first aid and CPR by Selina Rawe. She went over all the course material thoroughly and at a speed that everyone could follow. Her humour and storytelling make it easy to stay focused and learn while having fun at the same time. 🙂

Coast2Coast's online + in-person was excellent!

They're not kidding when they estimate the online component is 7-8 hours... so I'd recommend spacing it out as 1-2 hours over several days rather than one intense day of online training/quizzing.

The in-person component was taught by Scott F, a former paramedic. He was spectacularly helpful, quick on his feet, and excellent in his emphasis on key details. I scored 100% on the test today, undoubtedly due to Scott's excellent instruction.

I'll easily and happily look to Coast2Coast for my recertification course in 3 years! Thanks Scott F and thank you Coast2Coast for hiring/contracting Scott!

I had an excellent experience with Ezz as my instructor for my course regarding Standard first aid and CPR level C. He had a fun energy and made sure everyone got involved with demonstrations. He had an amazing perspective on first aid and truly believes anyone has the ability to help someone when they need help. I plan to keep going through coast2coast for any first aid training I will need in the future.

I took the First Aid and CPR-C course with Ezz - he is a very well educated and experienced individual who has a clear passion for the work he does here. Highly recommend. If you are a first timer, take your time with the online modules and e-text as it is crucial for your full understanding of what is happening in class. Thank you Ezz!

I cannot recommend this CPR course enough. It was, without a doubt, the best in-person learning experience I’ve had with any instructor. The level of care and expertise brought to the class was unmatched. I walked away not only with a certification but with the genuine confidence to help in an emergency. Heartfelt thanks to the instructor for such an incredible session!

There is a reason I got this score at BLS Training today and it was because it has been the most informative, interactive, real life situational and memorable training I’ve ever experienced in my 9 years of needing BLS training. Walaa was an amazing instructor who not only knew her stuff but was very passionate about what she was teaching which made it more engaging to learn. I left feeling more prepared than ever before. Thanks Walaa! I hope I don’t have to use any of the training but should I need to I feel more confident in what to do all thanks to you!
