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 had a great experience taking this First Aid course with Mr. Ali Sekhavati. The instructor was professional, patient, and explained everything clearly. The class was well organized, and the hands-on practice made the training very helpful and easy to understand. I learned a lot and feel much more confident handling emergency situations now. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking for quality First Aid training.

As a senior Nurse, I found this session of BLS with Coast2Coast First Aid/CPR-Napean to be very informative and practical. Our instructor Ashraf conducted the class with professionalism and took the time to learn everyone's name. He also presented information with precision accuracy. Our practical exercises were conducive to real life scenarios in and out of facilities and I for one feel more confident in my BLS abilities. Well done! 100% recommendation!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Lina! We agree, Ashraf is wonderful at teaching with precision accuracy and making sure everyone feels included. It's great to hear that our practical exercises helped you feel more confident as a BLS Provider in Nepean. If you know anyone who needs training, send them our way! 💪 – The Coast2Coast Team

Extremely convenient way to become certified. Lots of dates available. Nice balance of hands on practice without feeling too “put on the spot” like in some trainings I’ve done. The hybrid option is great for flexibility and also is a nice study tool for long term retention.

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.
