Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition and Assessment (PEARS) Courses

The Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition and Stabilization (PEARS) training courses are similar to Basic Life Support (BLS) training, but focuses more on infant and child patients suffering from respiratory distress, cardiac arrest and more.

Along with BLS training, PEARS provides healthcare employees life-saving skills needed to improve the outcomes of patient lives. It is an initial response to life-threatening cases which is later followed by more advanced patient management including Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) or Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).

Healthcare providers who need PEARS training will learn various skills such as high-quality CPR for children and infants, respiratory emergencies and more. Those who need PEARS training include healthcare providers or first responders in schools, health centres, etc.

Abdulaziz Swede

I recently completed a first aid training course here, and it was an outstanding experience! The facilities were clean, well-organized, and equipped with everything we needed. My instructor, Rohail, was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire course engaging and interactive. He took the time to ensure everyone understood each skill thoroughly, making us all feel confident and prepared. Rohail’s passion for teaching first aid truly stood out, and I left feeling empowered to handle emergency situations. Highly recommend this place and Rohail as an instructor for anyone looking to learn first aid!

Daphne Jin

Took my SFA & AED recertification with Anne, could not recommend the course more! She was so personable, engaging, and dynamic as an instructor. I felt engaged and encouraged throughout the whole day, and the stories and anecdotes she told really help the information stick in your brain. Particularly loved the way she contextualized everything we were learning in terms of specific regulations, situations, and legalities in the everyday of Ontario, and where to access more resources when necessary (mental health hotlines, getting a tick tested for Lyme disease, how to safely dispose of expired medications, etc.). Absolutely the best training course I’ve taken (of all the times I’ve had to recertify) and I’m looking forward to seeing her again in three years!

Response from the owner: Hi Daphne! We would like to thank you on behalf of our team for trusting us with your Standard First Aid & CPR training needs. We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with Anne as your instructor and we’ll be sure to let her know how much of a positive impact she’s had on her students. Emergencies can happen at any time and we’re glad you took the steps to become more prepared. We’re glad you learned a lot and left feeling confident in your life-saving skills. See you in 3 years for recertification! Stay safe.

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 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:

Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C OR Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
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.
