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 recently completed my Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C training at the Scarborough location, and I had a great experience. The instructor made the class interactive, engaging, and easy to follow, even with the amount of information covered. What I appreciated most was the hands-on practice and the real-life scenarios, which made me feel much more confident about what to do in an emergency. The staff were friendly, the facility was organized, and the overall experience was smooth from registration to completion. I walked away with valuable skills and a certification, but more importantly, I feel better prepared to help others when it matters most. I would definitely recommend Coast2Coast First Aid to anyone looking for First Aid and CPR training. Thank you for a fantastic learning experience! 😊

I recently completed my BLS training at Coast2Coast First Aid/CPR in Scarborough, and I had a very positive experience. Azra was our instructor, and she was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and supportive throughout the course. She explained all the concepts clearly and made sure everyone understood both the theory and hands-on skills. The class was well-organized, and she created a comfortable learning environment where questions were encouraged. Her feedback during practice helped build confidence in performing BLS skills correctly. Overall, I had a great learning experience at the Scarborough location, and I would highly recommend Azra as an instructor to anyone planning to take BLS or CPR training.

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.

If you ever have any questions regarding a First Aid and CPR/AED training course at Coast2Coast, please contact us via email or our toll-free number: 866-291-9121. We would be happy to answer any questions or concerns you have about a training course.
