Recertification
Eligibility
In order to be eligible for a 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.

If you would like to recertify any other certificates (CPR/AED Level A or Basic/Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C, for example), then you may need to register for a full training course. Some courses are not available for Recertification depending on the province.

- 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.

If your current First Aid and CPR/AED certificate from the Canadian Red Cross is about to expire, then you should enroll in a WSIB approved or OHS-approved Recertification course. With recertification training, students will primarily focus on practicing hands-on skills such as CPR, bandaging and more.
Refresh your memory by practicing the skills you were once taught and learn new life-saving techniques from a certified Canadian Red Cross instructor! Recertification training will occur over a shorter duration of time compared to the full training course you originally completed.
