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 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.

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.

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.

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.
First Responder: Recertification is available for First Responder and can be recertified multiple times in a row.
Emergency Medical Responder: Recertification is available for Emergency Medical Responder and can be recertified multiple times in a row.

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.

Our First Aid & CPR Training Facilities in Canada

Coast2Coast First Aid & Aquatics provides WSIB-approved and OHS-approved First Aid, CPR, EMR, Youth training courses and more in over 25 locations in Canada! We pride ourselves on providing the best training experience possible, ensuring our students leave their course feeling confident in their life-saving skills.
