I did the blended First Aid and CPR training (half online, half in person) and I was surprised at how interesting and engaging the lessons were! My teacher, Andrea, made the 9-5 training so fun and enjoyable, balancing humour with serious training and skills. I feel very ready to engage in an emergency situation after this training experience.

Having experienced several trainings for first aid over many years, I’d have to say Coast2Coast has been the most engaging and memorable class I’ve taken (Shout out to Andrea). Coast2Coast hits several kinds of learning styles as they teach you, making this class practical for all, whether it be for work, school, or to learn the skills and be prepared. Finishing this course, Coast2Coast helped me to gain both knowledge and confidence need I ever be in a first aid/CPR situation. I definitely will be back to do more trainings with them in the future!

Her way of explaining things made everything feel easy to understand, and she created such a comfortable and positive learning environment. You can truly tell she cares about her students and wants them to succeed. I felt confident and well prepared thanks to her guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

When an emergency strikes, you may find yourself all of a sudden in a Disaster Film situation and the difference between a happy ending and a tragedy may just depend on your knowledge of CPR, When a person stops breathing as a result of drowning, suffocation, physicals trauma (and the hundred other things that can cause this condition), the ambulance will not make it there in mere minutes, which is often all the time you have to revive your loved one.

  • What is CPR and what does it do?
  • When is it needed?
  • How is CPR performed?
  • Do you know what to do when someone needs CPR?

The highest percentage of cardiac arrest cases occur at home and in the workplace, which is no surprise, since people spend most of their time in those two places. No matter how close the nearest hospital is, the ambulance might not arrive in time, & you will need to have someone around who is trained in CPR.

BLS training is a 4-hour course that provides healthcare professionals in-depth training on how to perform CPR in a fast-paced environment such as a hospital. Students will learn a variety of skills ranging from high-performance CPR, using an AED, how to work as a team and more.

At Coast2Coast, we offer three levels of First Aid training:

  • Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
  • Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
  • Marine Basic First Aid & CPR/AED Level C

First Aid training is often a requirement for careers or school programs. Depending on your field, you may need to complete a specific course. Confirm with your employer or counsellor regarding this.

Mobile swimming is a great way to learn how to swim in the comfort of your home! If you own a pool or have a community centre with open pool hours, we can send one of our experienced swim instructors to you. Choose a time and date that works best with your schedule!
