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!

Course Review: Exceptional First Aid Training with Maria McGuinness I recently completed a one-day First Aid and CPR course through Coast2Coast First Aid/CPR in Ottawa, and I cannot recommend it highly enough, thanks to our fantastic instructor, Maria McGuinness. Ms. McGuinness delivered the course material with absolute excellence. Covering a large volume of critical, lifesaving information in just a single day can easily feel overwhelming, but her teaching style made the content incredibly digestible and practical. She was exceptionally attentive to the needs of everyone in the room, ensuring that every participant fully understood the hands-on techniques and felt confident in their skills before moving forward. What truly set this course apart was how engaging Maria made the entire session. She kept the energy high, encouraged questions, and used real-world scenarios that kept us focused and motivated from start to finish. If you are looking to get certified in Ottawa, I highly recommend booking a session with Coast2Coast and requesting Maria McGuinness as your instructor. Thank you, Maria, for a top-tier training experience!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Claude! 🎉 We agree that Maria McGuinness is absolutely wonderful at making our Red Cross certification courses in Ottawa so practical and easy to follow. We are so glad her engaging teaching style helped you feel confident in your lifesaving skills. Don't forget to tell your friends about us! – 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 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.

Offering You the Best Training

Our goal at Coast2Coast First Aid & Aquatics is to make our students feel confident in the skills they learn during their training with us. With this in mind, we strive to provide high quality training equipment for our courses. Not only is equipment important, though! We also have the best Canadian Red Cross instructors on our team, ready to help the first responders and citizens in our communities learn amazing first aid and CPR skills.
