First Responder Recertification (FR) Training Program

Ready to refresh your First Responder (FR) skills? At Coast2Coast, we provide First Responder Recertification training courses throughout Ontario, helping keep our student’s certificates valid. This advanced training has been designed to go over content you have previously learned while also incorporating newly developed life-saving techniques.

The course covers a wide range of topics from assessing patients and circulatory emergencies to hemorrhages and soft tissue trauma. In addition to this content, students will also learn how to extricate patients, deliver a baby and so much more.

Each of these skills is not only taught over lecture but also taught through scenario-based training. Students will be required to act out emergency scenes as a way to practice patient assessments, vitals, various medical emergencies, and how to care for the patient. Practicing scenarios is a key aspect of First Responder Recertification training.

Nikki Nikseresht

I recently completed the Standard First Aid CPR-C course and was thoroughly impressed with my experience. Anne Klausner was exceptional—patient, knowledgeable, and caring. She explained each step with clarity and ensured everyone understood the procedures. Her approachable demeanor and expertise made the course not only informative but also enjoyable. I highly recommend Ms. Anne Klausner at Richmond Hill location to anyone looking to learn first aid and CPR.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your pleasant review, Nikki! It’s great to see how much you enjoyed your recent training with us and we hope to see you again for recertification in the future. Thanks for choosing Coast2Coast. Stay safe!

Kaitlyn Muma

Ezz is the best first aid/CPR instructor I’ve had so far.. He is extremely knowledgeable and engaging!

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!
