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!

Took my second course with them, great instructors 🙂

Flexible learning with online-blended course that reduces the number of days required for in-person training (helpful for those who cannot take time off). Friendly and energetic course instructor. Timely customer service through phone and email. Great place to take a first-aid CPR-C course.

Thank You, Coast2Coast!

I would like to sincerely thank Coast2Coast for the amazing First Aid and CPR course I completed on July 5, 2025. The course was well-organized and very informative.

A special thanks to Mr. Joseph, our instructor, who was very talented, clear, and easy to understand. He made both the theory and practical parts of the training very engaging.

The training hall was clean, spacious, and comfortable—not hot at all despite the size—which helped us focus and enjoy the session fully.

I truly learned a lot and feel more confident now in emergency situations. I’m excited to share this experience with my family and friends and encourage them to take this important course.

On August 18th, I completed the Standard First Aid course with Coast to Coast in Kitchener and was very impressed with the training.
Our instructor, Charlie Cheng, delivered the material in a clear, thorough, and engaging manner. His sense of humour and teaching approach made the course both enjoyable and easy to understand. Charlie ensured that every topic was covered completely and made sure all participants were confident in the skills taught.
I highly recommend this training program, especially with Charlie as the instructor.

took a class here in 2022 and returned yesterday for my recertification. Our instructor, Hetal, was absolutely amazing — very easygoing and patient. Even if someone asked the same question five times, she would always respond with a smile and explain clearly. I’ve already referred many friends here. The location is very convenient and accessible for Scarborough people. This time, I completed Standard First Aid Level C, and I’m very satisfied with the experience.

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 Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C as well as 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:

Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C OR Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
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.
