Instructor Hosam was great. Ive attended many CPR classes for work before but this is the BLS class that actually made me confident to do CPR when needed. After this class I can say that I am confident enough to perform CPR on someone in need. He demonstrates everything and makes us do it and thats a great way to learn! Would definitely recommend this place!

I took the Standard First Aid and CPR/AED course with Maria and had a really great experience. Maria was incredibly kind, friendly and thorough in her teaching. She explained everything so clearly that I ended up getting 100% on the final test first try. I’ve taken a first aid course before and found it pretty boring and unengaging, but Maria made the repetitive content interesting and easy to learn and understand. She created a really positive environment and made sure everyone felt comfortable. I’d really recommend this course for anyone who needs, especially if you have Maria as your instructor.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Emmy! 🎉 We agree, Maria is absolutely wonderful at making the material engaging and easy to understand. Getting 100% on your test on the first try is amazing, and we are glad she helped you feel comfortable while earning your Red Cross certification in Ottawa.

When an emergency strikes, you may find yourself all of a sudden in a situation out of a disaster film, 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, or physical 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. Our first aid and CPR training Canada can give you the confidence you need in situations where every second counts.

  • 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, so having someone around who is trained in CPR can make all the difference.

CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, which is a treatment administered when a person is not breathing or not breathing normally. The direct goal of this treatment is to keep oxygenated blood reaching the person’s brain. When someone needs CPR, they really need it.

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

  • 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 what is required with your employer or counsellor.

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! Simply send us an inquiry to get started.
