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 the course in Edmonton with course instructor Shane Bruneau who was exceptionally friendly and highly professional at the same time and made the students feel welcome and throughout the course he was fun to be with and learn from. I strongly recommend his services to any prospective student and I wish Shane all the best and sincerely hope he would be my instructor again in 3 years time.

I can’t say enough good things about Coast2Coast First Aid/CPR – Hamilton. This is now my third time using Coast2Coast for my First Aid and CPR certification, which I need for my job in security at Mohawk College, and every experience has been excellent. When it came time to renew my certification, Coast2Coast was my first choice. I had already had such positive experiences with them in the past that I didn’t really feel the need to look anywhere else. My instructor, Joyal Fernandez, was absolutely fantastic. He was knowledgeable, professional, patient, and made the course genuinely enjoyable. He explained everything clearly, gave us plenty of opportunities to practise the hands-on skills, and made sure we understood not just what to do in an emergency, but why we were doing it. That makes a huge difference when you’re learning skills you may actually have to rely on in the real world. Working in security, First Aid and CPR aren’t just certificates I need for employment — these are skills I could potentially have to use to help someone during an emergency. I left the course feeling refreshed, confident, and much better prepared because of Joyal’s instruction. Another thing I really appreciate is that Coast2Coast is a Canadian Red Cross Training Partner. Knowing that the training follows recognized Canadian Red Cross standards gives me even more confidence in the quality of the certification and the skills being taught. The entire Coast2Coast process has always been organized, professional, and straightforward, which is exactly why I keep coming back when it’s time to renew. A huge thank you to Joyal Fernandez and the Coast2Coast Hamilton team. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing First Aid and CPR training — especially anyone working in security or another field where these skills truly matter. 5 stars without hesitation. Coast2Coast was my first choice for renewal, and after another great experience, they’ll continue to be my first choice in the future.

I had Ms. Hetal Patel when I did my lessons for first aid, standard/intermediate CPR AED Level C. She was in depth with her explanations and analogies and provided adequate practice time for participants to learn how to apply a sling safely, provide CPR to adults/children, applying pressure to wounds, and much more. The test is easy and at the time of this review, require you to get 75% to pass out of 35 multiple choice questions.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Michael! 🙏 We agree that Ms. Hetal Patel is wonderful at using clear analogies and providing plenty of hands-on practice. We are so glad you had a great experience earning your Standard First Aid certification in Scarborough. 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 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.
