Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Courses

Our Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) training courses are specifically designed for healthcare professionals who work with pediatric patients. This training course is built off of the skills learned in Basic Life Support (BLS) or Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition and Stabilization (PEARS) training.

Students will learn a variety of life-saving skills in a Pediatric Advanced Life Support course such as high-quality CPR, arrhythmias, cardiopulmonary arrest and more. Expect to practice high-intensity cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as a team to save lives and care for ill or injured children.

Those who require Pediatric Advanced Life Support training include nurses, physicians, paramedics and others who work in a pediatric care setting. Be sure to register today and earn your PALS certificate and save lives!

I recently completed a CPR and First Aid course with Coast2Coast North York location, and our presenter Ali was absolutely phenomenal. He managed to take a huge amount of critical, high-stakes information and deliver it in a way that was engaging, easy to understand, and highly practical. Instead of just reading off slides, he brought real-world experience to the classroom, using hands-on practice and clear scenarios to make sure everyone felt completely comfortable with the techniques. His teaching style was patient, encouraging, and highly interactive, which made the time fly by. I walked out of the class feeling genuinely confident in my ability to respond calmly and effectively in an emergency situation. If you need to get certified, I recommend Coast2Coast North York location. Thank you Ali!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Natalya! 🎉 We agree that Ali does an amazing job with his presentations. We're so glad you had a great experience earning your Red Cross certification in North York. We'd love to help your friends and family get certified too! – The Coast2Coast Team

Excellent course. Instructor is a doctor who really knows his stuff. Shared info that you won't find anywhere else. He challenged material that's online and that could really save lives. More First Aid courses should have such extremely well-qualified instructors like him. Don't sell yourself short by going for courses that promise a lot at a discounted price and deliver so much less. This course is the REAL DEAL!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the fantastic review, Richard! 🙏 We're so glad to hear you valued the unique, real-world expertise our doctor-instructor brought to the class. It's important to us that our Standard First Aid courses in North York offer this level of deep, life-saving knowledge. If you know anyone who needs training, send them our way! – The Coast2Coast Team

First Aid & CPR/AED Training

Along with Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP) training, Coast2Coast also offers First Aid and CPR/AED training courses that follow the Canadian Red Cross guidelines. Our two first aid training courses are Basic/Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C as well as Intermediate/Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C. Each of these courses are offered in the Traditional All In-Class format or the Online Blended format.

Each of our First Aid and CPR/AED courses are WSIB approved and taught by one of our highly trained Canadian Red Cross instructors. Practice hands-on skills such as wound care, CPR, bandaging and more with top-notch equipment, guaranteed to make you feel confident in your life-saving skills.

Currently, our First Aid and Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP) courses are held separately as of April 2019. First aid training will cover basic to advanced skills as well as CPR, AED and choking for adults, children and infants. Our Basic Life Support course will have some overlap of skills, but will primarily focus on high-intensity CPR, BVM, how to work in a fast-paced environment with a team and more.

First Aid + BLS Bundle

Many students who require Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP) training also require first aid training. If you require both trainings for your school program or workplace, you may be eligible for our BLS bundle discount!

To take advantage of the bundle discount, you must register for two separate courses:

  1. Basic/Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C OR Intermediate/Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
  2. Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP)

This discount will be applied to the Basic Life Support registration, reducing the price to $39.99+HST per person.
