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 completing my BLS training at Coast2Coast First Aid's Hamilton location. The instructor was knowledgeable, engaging, and explained everything clearly while making the class interactive and easy to follow. The hands-on practice helped me feel confident using the skills I learned, and the training environment was welcoming and well organized. I would definitely recommend Coast2Coast First Aid to anyone looking for professional, high-quality BLS training.

I did have some trouble getting access to the online portion of my blended First Aid training – it wasn’t emailed to me without having to request it, which is a struggle I’d read across a good handful of people (I find emailing them the easiest/quickest way to hear back). However, my instructor Amandeep Kaur was wonderful! She was engaging and very knowledgeable on the content she was teaching. I appreciated that she made sure that everyone had a chance to ask questions and practice the first aid techniques! I would definitely recommend her as an instructor

Just completed my first CPR course today with Ahmed Sir, and it was such an amazing experience! Everything was explained clearly, step by step, and we got plenty of hands-on practice using the equipment, which made learning much more effective and engaging. Ahmed Sir was patient, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the training. It was absolutely worth it, and I highly recommend Coast2Coast First Aid & Aquatics this course to anyone looking to learn CPR with confidence. Thank you for such a great learning experience!

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.
