First Aid & CPR Recertification

Recertification courses are designed to refresh your memory and life-saving skills. The All-In-Class format is a great way to re-learn the skills you were once taught by a Canadian Red Cross instructor. This format allows students to complete their full training course in a classroom setting.

Attend your training anywhere from four to eight hours depending on the course level you have registered for. After completing and passing an exam, students will receive a temporary certificate which is valid for 30 days. Within 5-10 business days, students will receive a PDF copy of their certificate via email.
With the All-In-Class format, students are able to complete their training in one go with an experienced Canadian Red Cross instructor. Refresh your memory with theory and hands-on practice. This format is available for public training.

Recertification
Eligibility

In order to be eligible for aΒ Recertification course at Coast2Coast, you must have a valid (not expired) certificate from the Canadian Red Cross. If you are registering for a CPR Recertification course, your current certificate is not required to be from the Canadian Red Cross, but must be from a WSIB-approved or OHS-approved provider. Conditions vary based on the province you are completing your training in as well as the course level you wish to register for.

Currently, we provide First Aid & CPR training in Ontario and Alberta.

First Aid & CPR Recertification

Basic/Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C cannot be recertified in Ontario. You must complete the full training course instead. However, Basic/Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C can be recertified in Alberta.

Intermediate/Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C can only be recertified once. This means you will need to alternate between a full course and a Recertification course. Check the write up of your certificate to confirm which course you compelted last time.

Professional Responder Recertification

You may complete a Recertification course each time you need to renew your First Responder or Emergency Medical Responder certification as long as your current certificate is not expired.

Basic Life Support

I recently completed the CPR & First Aid course at Coast2Coast in Burlington, and it was an excellent experience. Our instructor, Prabhjot Jhajj, was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and highly trained. She explained every topic clearly, made the hands-on practice engaging, and created a supportive learning environment where everyone felt comfortable asking questions. The course was truly enriching and provided practical skills that I believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn. I left feeling much more confident and prepared to respond in an emergency. Thank you again to the outstanding instructor, Prabhjot Jhajj, for making this such a valuable and memorable learning experience. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get certified in CPR and First Aid.

I completed the course in the blended learning format, and it was an excellent experience. The flexibility of being able to organize my study schedule and learn at my own pace helped me get the most out of the in-person training. Maria, the instructor, was outstanding. She was very knowledgeable, explained the content clearly, and made sure everyone understood the material before moving forward. Her teaching approach was engaging and effective. The course included many practical simulations based on real-life situations, which made the training even more valuable and prepared me well for real-world scenarios. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to obtain this certification.

What Courses can
be Recertified?

We offer Recertification courses for many different training levels including CPR/AED Level C, Basic/Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C, Intermediate/Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C, First Responder and Emergency Medical Responder.

  • CPR/AED Level A: No Recertification course is available for CPR/AED Level A. You must complete the full training.
  • CPR/AED Level C: Recertification is available for CPR/AED Level C and can be recertified multiple times in a row.
  • Basic/Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C: Recertification is only available to our Alberta residents and can be recertified multiple times in a row. Ontario does not allow Basic/Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C Recertification.
  • Intermediate/Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C: Recertification is available for Intermediate/Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C. In Alberta, the course may be recertified multiple times in a row, but in Ontario, you must alternate between a full course and a Recertification course.
