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!

We took the Standard First Aid and CPR as a team at work. I feel so much more confident and prepared to act in case of emergency. The course was delivered with humour and excellent instruction. It was a lot of information, but everything made sense after the experience of trying all the skills.
Response from the owner:Hey Leigh! Your review is greatly appreciated. We’re glad you took action and completed a safety training course! You never know when an emergency will occur whether that’s at home, at work or while you’re out shopping. Thank you for choosing Coast2Coast! We certainly hope to see you again in the near future for recertification. Stay safe!

Firstly – the Unit address was confusing from outside the building. Had to go through the door which states "Professional Office" and as you go up the stairs the unit is on the 2nd floor. 2ndly – the entire class & classroom was very engaging. You were free to ask any questions and all answers was provided. There were a few students who come from many different professions that required Certification for different levels of First-Aid. 3rdly – Please charge your phones ahead of time, as all of the test are done online (Wifi is provided). All enquiries & submission will need to be done via your phone. 4thly – The instructor came from a very diverse background with years of experience and a vast knowledge all emergency situations. Enjoyed every minute of his class. Thank you Dimitirh. Your knowledge & training technique was very helpful & effective.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Diamond Face! 🙏 Thanks for the tip about finding our Brampton entrance, and we are glad the engaging class made it worth it. We agree that Dimitirh is fantastic and uses his deep background to make your Red Cross certification training so effective.

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.
