As a senior Nurse, I found this session of BLS with Coast2Coast First Aid/CPR-Napean to be very informative and practical. Our instructor Ashraf conducted the class with professionalism and took the time to learn everyone's name. He also presented information with precision accuracy. Our practical exercises were conducive to real life scenarios in and out of facilities and I for one feel more confident in my BLS abilities. Well done! 100% recommendation!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Lina! We agree, Ashraf is wonderful at teaching with precision accuracy and making sure everyone feels included. It's great to hear that our practical exercises helped you feel more confident as a BLS Provider in Nepean. If you know anyone who needs training, send them our way! 💪 - The Coast2Coast Team

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!
