If you live in Mississauga, Ontario, then you don’t have to go to the neighbouring city, Toronto, to recertify your First Aid CPR Certificate. At Coast2Coast, we have a First Aid training facility in the city of Mississauga where various courses and recertification training programs are run.
Here is our complete guide on how to recertify your First Aid & CPR certificate in Mississauga.
Mississauga First Aid & CPR/AED Recertification
First Aid Training & CPR courses in Mississauga prepare you to help others. These courses are aimed to provide you the knowledge to help others in emergencies. These life-saving skills are invaluable because you are given the confidence to help anyone in a situation, whether they are involved in an accident or face a sudden illness.
Who is eligible for the recertification course?
First Aid and CPR/AED certificates from the Canadian Red Cross expire after three years. You need to recertify your current certificate before it expires, otherwise, you need to do the full course again.
Recertification courses allow you to renew your training quickly and economically compared to the full training courses.
The criteria required to enroll depends on the level of training required. However, for all courses at Coast2Coast, including the one in Mississauga, you can only do the recertification certificate if you have a valid (not expired) Canadian Red Cross certificate.
If you have a CPR/AED Level C, there are no restrictions on how many times you can be recertified. This means that you can take a Recertification course again and again. On the other hand, the Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C can only be recertified once. After the first recertification, you need to take a full course again. Therefore, you are required to alternate between a full course and a recertification course. This is the best way to ensure you refresh and memorize your life-saving skills, while also learning about all the new techniques practiced since your last training.
Stay Certified, Stay Prepared in Mississauga!
Renew your skills with our recertification course and ensure you’re up-to-date with the latest techniques and protocols. Don’t let your certification lapse—our expert instructors are here to help you refresh your knowledge and confidence.
What do you learn in the recertification course?
In the Coast2Coast recertification course, your knowledge is renewed and you are offered the chance to refresh your skills, ensuring you are always ready to help others.
During the Mississauga recertification program, your instructors highlight any changes in the curriculum. Usually, changes and new additions are made to the curriculum every three to five years. These changes alter how some things are done, and the recertification course remains critical to keeping you up-to-date with how to treat people and save lives.
What do you need for the Mississauga Recertification?
The only prerequisite for the Mississauga Recertification Course is a valid Canadian Red Cross Certificate. Below, you can read more about training courses that can or cannot be recertified:
For the Standard First Aid & CPR Recertification Course:
Your current valid certificate must be from the full training course from either the traditional two-day training or the Online Blended training. If your current certificate says “Recertification”, you DO NOT qualify for a Recertification course and you must register for the full course or the Online Blended course.
For the CPR/AED-C Recertification Course:
Unlike Standard First Aid, CPR/AED-C CAN be recertified as many times as you like.
For the CPR/AED-A Recertification Course:
CPR/AED-A certificates CANNOT be recertified.
For the Emergency First Aid & CPR Recertification Course:
The Emergency First Aid & CPR-C CANNOT be recertified.
Training Course Duration
Depending on whether you want a blended or traditional course, the time needed to complete the content is the same. At Coast2Coast, we are currently offering the Online Blended format of the course.

At a later date, you will attend a shortened in-class session to practice hands-on skills. On completion, you receive your certificate.
Your online portion must be completed before your in-class date.
