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!

Dimitrih Lafleur was hands down the BEST instructor I’ve ever had!! He made the whole experience so fun and actually enjoyable. He joked around, gave us so many real-life scenarios, and made sure everyone understood everything and felt confident with their skills. What I loved most was that he made it feel like we were all just a group of people learning together rather than a room full of strangers. Nobody felt stupid or embarrassed for not knowing something, and he never singled anyone out or made anyone feel less than. He made everyone feel comfortable, included, and supported the entire time. You can tell he genuinely cares about teaching and wants everyone to succeed. Honestly, I wish every instructor was like him!! If you ever get the chance to take a course with Dimitrih, DO IT!! I would 1000% recommend him to anyone!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, araya! 🎉 We agree, Dimitrih Lafleur is amazing at using real-life scenarios to make Standard First Aid engaging and comfortable for everyone. We're so glad you had such a great training experience in Brampton. If you know anyone who needs training, send them our way! – The Coast2Coast Team

This was an outstanding CPR/AED course from start to finish! Ashraf was an incredible instructor – patient, supportive, and clearly passionate about making sure every single person didn't just pass, but truly understood the material. You could tell his goal was to prepare us to actually save a life one day, even if it's our own. He kept the class engaged, made the material easy to follow, and got everyone involved with hands-on practice. Great course, even better instructor. Highly recommend!

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.
