Sneha Acharya
Dr. Adel was great, very energetic and the class went really smoothly as well.
Edinson Guzman
The course was very informative leaving me feeling very confident in being able to administer first aid and cpr with an aed. Scott F was a great instructor. He was very upbeat which made it easy to listen to and kept it interesting. Thanks again Scott! I would recommend Coast2Coast to everyone.
Taelon Gray
Scott's First Responder Recert absolutely exceeded my expectations. I am a relatively new Athletic Therapist who was looking for my first recert and didn't know what to expect from a recert that wasn't led by an athletic therapist. Scott was able to make the class engaging, was able to challenge each of us individually based on our strengths and weakness, helped me learn to really "own" the leadership role in responding, and brought along a strong sense of humour that kept me engaged. Scott was able to provide extra advice from having worked in the field and was able to help me refine specific techniques such as D.I.Y Tourniquets. Scott has a passion for helping to produce competent responders and it shows through his work, preparation, and adaptability. Highly Recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Taelon! We're so glad Scott's First Responder recertification exceeded your expectations, especially as a new Athletic Therapist looking to refine techniques like D.I.Y Tourniquets in North York. We agree, Scott's passion for helping to produce competent responders truly shines through his engaging instruction and humour! 💪 If you know anyone who needs training, send them our way! - The Coast2Coast Team

I've had 2 courses at this location - one with Ali and one with Kia - with both courses being very in-depth and informative, while still being very fun and engaging over several hours thanks to the instructors being both knowledgeable and entertaining with their presentation styles. Highly recommended.

FYI - Each course ends with an online test, so make sure you have a phone and remember the information you used to sign up for the course to avoid being locked out.

John B
I had an easy experience completing my CPR C & Emergency First Aid certification! Penny was very friendly and knowledgeable!
Olatundun Adeniji
EZZ 55678 was very detailed and patient.
Matt C
Ezz was great! He was a top notch instructor despite having hip pain. Made the course enjoyable, engaging, and left us very good nuggets of information that I will always remember. My only feedback for this program is not with the instructor, but with the company. I wanted to cancel a class that I had booked with three weeks notice and was told I would be charged $35. I think that policy makes sense with a last minute cancelation but not within a three week notice.
Something to consider to ensure customer satisfaction.
Tiffany Coll
Great course with Mohamed Ezz, very knowledgeable and informative.
Samantha W
Ezz was a great teacher and very hands on and i would definitely recommend this course and this teacher again!
Response from the owner:Hi Samantha! Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're absolutely thrilled that you had such a great training course with Ezz as your instructor. We aim to provide the best learning experience possible and hope you left feeling confident in your life-saving skills! If you have any questions regarding the course, please do not hesitate to contact us! Hope to see you soon for your next training. Stay safe!

Stay safe.

Those who typically require Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP) training include nurses, dental professionals, firefighters, rescue team members, sports medicine and more! Register today and gain confidence in your life-saving skills. Our community counts on you!

Offering You the
Best Training

Our goal at Coast2Coast First Aid & Aquatics is to make our students feel confident in the skills they learn during their training with us. With this in mind, we strive to provide high quality training equipment for our courses. Not only is equipment important, though! We also have the best Canadian Red Cross and Heart & Stroke instructors on our team, ready to help the first responders and citizens in our communities learn amazing first aid and CPR skills.

If you ever have any questions regarding a First Aid and CPR/AED training course at Coast2Coast, please contact us via email or our toll-free number: 866-291-9121. We would be happy to answer any questions or concerns you have about a training course.

First Aid & CPR/AED Training

Along with Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP) training, Coast2Coast also offers First Aid and CPR/AED training courses that follow the Canadian Red Cross guidelines. Our two first aid training courses are Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C as well as Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C. Each of these courses are offered in the Traditional All In-Class format or the Online Blended format.

Each of our First Aid and CPR/AED courses are WSIB and OHS approved and taught by one of our highly trained Canadian Red Cross instructors. Practice hands-on skills such as wound care, CPR, bandaging and more with top-notch equipment, guaranteed to make you feel confident in your life-saving skills.

Currently, our First Aid and Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP) courses are held separately as of April 2019. First aid training will cover basic to advanced skills as well as CPR, AED and choking for adults, children and infants. Our Basic Life Support course will have some overlap of skills, but will primarily focus on high-intensity CPR, BVM, how to work in a fast-paced environment with a team and more.

First Aid + BLS Bundle

Many students who require Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP) training also require first aid training. If you require both trainings for your school program or workplace, you may be eligible for our BLS bundle discount!
To take advantage of the bundle discount, you must register for two separate courses:
1. Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C OR Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
2. Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP)

This discount will be applied to the Basic Life Support registration, reducing the price to $39.99+HST per person.

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.
