Frequently Asked Questions — Coast2Coast First Aid CPR Nepean

Common questions about First Aid, CPR, BLS, and EMR training at Coast2Coast's Nepean location at 2068 Robertson Rd #208.

Yes. All First Aid, CPR/AED Level C, Basic Life Support, EMR, AED certification, and Red Cross CPR first aid certification courses at 2068 Robertson Rd #208, Nepean are WSIB approved — meeting Ontario Regulation 1101 workplace safety requirements. First aid training Ottawa employers require to comply with WSIB regulations, and our certificates are widely accepted across Ottawa west, Ottawa east, Nepean, Kanata, and the National Capital Region.

Both run at 2068 Robertson Rd #208. Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C is a one-day course for workplaces with 5 or fewer employees per shift. Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C is a two-day course required for most Nepean workplaces, Algonquin College placements, and federal employees. If unsure, choose Standard First Aid — it covers more and is accepted everywhere.

The three CPR level tiers differ by age coverage. Participants learn to recognize and respond to cardiovascular emergencies, choking, and life threatening emergencies for adults, children, and infants — depending on the level chosen. CPR/AED Level C — required by most Nepean employers — covers adult, child, and infant CPR plus automated external defibrillator use. Level B covers adult and child only; Level A covers adult plus AED. Choose CPR/AED Level C — it is the standard at our 2068 Robertson Rd #208 facility.

Existing certificates remain valid until they expire. The WSIB is updating its First Aid program in 2026 under Ontario Regulation 1101 — new training launches with refreshed CPR and first aid training content, modernized AED protocols, and updated mental health emergency response modules.

No. WSIB approved certification requires an in-person skills assessment. Coast2Coast uses blended learning — complete the theory online at your own pace, then attend a short in-person session at 2068 Robertson Rd #208 for hands on practice with CPR, AED, and bandaging. The blended online course format is particularly beneficial for healthcare workers and students with demanding schedules, balancing training with work or study commitments.

No. Recertification in Ontario must be completed with the same certifying body that issued your original certificate. If your original certificate is from Canadian Red Cross, you can recertify at Coast2Coast Nepean at 2068 Robertson Rd #208. If your certificate is from another body, you must take the full Standard First Aid course again.

Standard First Aid and CPR/AED Level C certificates earned at 2068 Robertson Rd #208 are valid for 3 years. Basic Life Support is valid for 1 year and requires annual renewal — mandatory at Queensway Carleton Hospital, CHEO, and all Ottawa clinical settings. Red Cross CPR digital certificates are delivered within 48 hours via myrc.redcross.ca.

Duration varies by level. CPR/AED Level C Blended takes 6-7 hours total. Emergency First Aid is a full day (7-8 hours). Standard First Aid is two days (14-16 hours), or 9-10 hours total in the blended format. Basic Life Support is 4 hours in person. EMR is 70+ hours over multiple weeks.

A few practical items. Wear comfortable clothing that allows kneeling for CPR practice. Bring photo ID and your blended online theory completion certificate if applicable. A water bottle and snacks help during the day. Free street parking and Robertson Road bus access (OC Transpo) are available at 2068 Robertson Rd #208.

Yes. Basic Life Support (BLS) replaced CPR-HCP in 2019. Participants learn to quickly recognize life threatening emergencies and provide high quality chest compressions and appropriate ventilations for adults, children, and infants. BLS-trained bystanders can initiate the chain of survival — crucial since a significant percentage of cardiac arrests occur outside hospitals. It is the clinical standard for every healthcare provider at Queensway Carleton Hospital, CHEO, and The Ottawa Hospital.
