Online First Aid & CPR/AED Training

How Does an Online First Aid Course Work in Canada?

Online First Aid &
CPR/AED Training

In the 21st century, we are all accustomed to doing the majority of things online; from banking to grocery shopping, even learning different workouts. We should also be able to learn life-saving skills such as CPR online as well. We all want to keep our loved ones safe and take all the necessary measures of precaution to ensure their safety.

We get everyone to wear their seat belts, make sure we cross the road in a safe manner. We keep bandages and medicine at home and at work…but do we really know how to respond to serious injury? When a pot of boiling water causes severe burns? When a child gets cut by a sharp kitchen utensil? When someone trips on the stairs and breaks an arm or a leg?

The Online First Aid & CPR/AED courses are developed to be simple to use, interactive, and effective. Depending on the course you take, whether it’s Emergency Response Training, Basic Life Support training or another one, there are different modules covering important life-saving skills and knowledge. Each module has an examination designed to ensure your understanding of the subject matter. Once completed you will receive a temporary certificate from the Canadian Red Cross which is valid for 60 days. If you wish to receive a WSIB or OHS approved certificate, you will also need to attend an in-class session.

Learn important First Aid and CPR skills with our wide range of levels to meet every need, including those looking to be more prepared for their own health and safety or to keep those around them more prepared. The Online First Aid & CPR/AED courses are delivered in easy-to-follow steps, using interactive components, videos, games and modules and a variety of training materials.

A First Aid & CPR
Program That's
For You!

In today’s world, we can never be too careful, and the sad truth is, keeping ourselves prepared and ready to respond to emergencies is not usually a priority. Sadly, most people would think in an emergency situation that they can act on based on fictional doctor shows or films or what they have heard from others. But is that really enough? We don’t think so.

Heart disease is one of the most common causes of death in Canada and that is not the only disease that affects Canadians every year. Cardiac arrest and other dangerous diseases can really strike anyone at any time. This is why learning and getting a First Aid and CPR/AED certification is so important.

 It is important to learn the skills and knowledge from a reputable source. We put our trust in the Canadian Red Cross national guidelines. Our students learn different skills and knowledge in the courses. For example, in CPR courses, you will learn how to perform cardiovascular resuscitation following the latest guidelines that increase the chance of survival.

Scott is a really good trainer. I have been to many First aid/CPR courses in the past with other training companies, but this one was different.

Ilona
I recently completed the Standard First Aid + CPR C course with instructor Rajeev K, and I can’t recommend it enough. Rajeev is incredibly knowledgeable and brought a wealth of real-life experience and examples to the training, which made the content not only more engaging but also relevant. He made a full 9–5 day feel light and enjoyable with his positive attitude, great sense of humour, and clear passion for teaching.

The room we trained in was spacious and comfortable, which helped us stay focused throughout the day. We used excellent practice materials, everything we needed to get hands-on and properly learn the techniques.

Rajeev kept the whole class engaged and created an open, welcoming environment where everyone felt comfortable asking questions and participating. He was incredibly thorough during the practical portions and made sure each of us had the chance to get the techniques right. His ability to connect with the class and explain things clearly stood out.

Both my friend and I left the course feeling confident in our ability to handle real-life situations requiring first aid and CPR, and that’s all thanks to Rajeev’s outstanding instruction & the Coast2Coast course set up.

The online component we completed before the in person training was great and comprehensive, and you have access to the full guide to follow along and keep for reference. If you’re looking for a course that’s informative & engaging, this is the one to take.

Thank you Rajeev & Coast2Coast!
Response from the owner:Ilona, thanks for leaving your fantastic review! We're very happy that you and your friend had an enjoyable course with us at our Kitchener first aid and CPR training facility. Anyone can be a hero and now you're ready to save a life since you have completed a safety training course with us! We're so glad that Rajeev made your training welcoming and comfortable and that you learned so many valuable life-saving skills! Hope to see you again for recertification. Stay safe!
ItsAabha
I had the pleasure of taking a First Aid & CPR course with Coast2Coast, and Instructor Ali truly stood out. His teaching skills are exceptional—he explained complex concepts in a clear, easy-to-understand way and adapted his approach to suit different learning styles in the group. Ali was not only knowledgeable, but also incredibly organized and professional. He created a learning environment that was both thorough and supportive, helping us build real confidence in our abilities. It’s rare to find an instructor so skilled and dedicated. Highly recommend taking a course with him!
Response from the owner:Hi Aabha! Your review and recommendation are greatly appreciated.
