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 cannot say enough how much I like taking my level 3 CPR with Coast2Coast. This is my second time and they make it so enjoyable. Maria is a wonderful instructor. I had some medical issues that made my in class a challenge and Maria was extremely accommodating and patient with my issues. I was very inpatient and frustrated over the phone with staff and they were so great, kind and patient in helping me. She was also very kind to someone who could only speak French, taking the time to make sure they could learn with us. I highly recommend Coast2Coast and Maria.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Dawn! We're so glad to hear you've had such an enjoyable experience taking your CPR Level C with us for a second time in Nepean. We absolutely agree that Maria is a wonderful instructor, and we're particularly pleased to hear she was extremely accommodating and patient with your medical issues. 💪 If you know anyone who needs training, send them our way! – The Coast2Coast Team

Dimitrih was a great instructor! I took his first aid class through my work and it didnt feel like it was 8 hours long. He kept the mood/feeling light, asked questions to the group as well as let us ask him questions whenever we needed to. He was very precise in his descriptions and outlined all necessary learning material effectively. Allowed us to take brakes when needed, and made sure we were all on schedule, outlining all areas needed to feel confident in the learning material!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Mike Courvoisier! 🎉 We're so glad to hear that Dimitrih made your Standard First Aid class in North York so engaging and that it didn't feel like 8 hours.

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:

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