COVID-19 First Aid & CPR Training Protocol

All students must complete the Screening Questionnaire (see below) 24 hours before their course. If the answer to any of these questions asked in the questionnaire is YES, please contact us for a one-time free rescheduling.

The Canadian Red Cross societies have also asked all training partners to screen pre-existing conditions such as allergies causing sneezing and reschedule the training if the participant has sneezing/flu-like symptoms. This extra due diligence is requested from partners to ensure all participants feel safe and secure during the course. If this applies to you, consult our office and we will work with you to find the most suitable option.

During Training:

It is recommended that students wear a face mask and a face shield during their training due to group activities that must be performed in the class. Face masks and face shields are not mandatory but recommended. Although, if you are experiencing any symptoms, we request that you do wear a face mask.

What We Do To Keep You Safe:

In an effort to combat COVID-19, Coast2Coast First Aid and Aquatics Inc. has implemented the following procedures:

Students may receive an individually sealed student kit (Triangular bandage, gloves, conforming bandage, gauze pad, adhesive tape)*
Students will receive a one-time-use filter to practice rescue breaths
Implemented use of strong disinfectant solutions to clean surfaces and equipment before and after each training
Increased availability of disinfectant wipes to clean manikins, training equipment, and surfaces during the training
Increased availability of hand sanitizers in class to allow participants for quick hand cleaning

Handwashing:

Handwashing is highly recommended to prevent the spread of viruses and pathogens and you may be asked to wash your hands several times during the training. We recommend proper handwashing during the following instances:

Beginning and end of the class
Before and after meals/snacks

Food and Snack:

Students are allowed to eat and drink in class during breaks. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, please continue wash/sanitize hands prior to handling food and physical distance from classmates.

Textbooks:

During the class, we will not be distributing loaner textbooks in order to prevent cross-transmission of the diseases between students. You may download the PDF version of the book from your confirmation message and use your tablet/laptop/smartphone during the class OR you may purchase a hard copy version. Please understand that these are the only two options feasible at this time; once the situation with COVID-19 is resolved, we may return to our original practice of using loaner textbooks during the class.

Participants should use their own learning equipment each day including, manuals, worksheets, calculators, notebooks, pens, pencils, etc. These items should not be shared with other participants.

After Training:

We recommend that you wash your hands upon leaving our facility. When you get home, we recommend that you change and wash your attire as well before getting in contact with your family members.

COVID-19 Screening Questionnaire

Coast2Coast First Aid and Aquatics Inc strive to ensure the safety of all participants and staff in the classroom during this unprecedented time. All students must complete the Screening Questions. Students are highly recommended to wear a face mask for the full duration of their training, but it is not mandatory. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below, we ask that you do wear a face mask.

Sudip Gautam

I recently had the opportunity to participate in an Emergency First Aid and CPR training course, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their emergency preparedness skills. The training was not only comprehensive but also incredibly engaging and hands-on, ensuring that participants left feeling confident in their ability to respond to real-life emergencies.Here’s what stood out:Knowledgeable InstructorsThe instructors were highly skilled professionals with extensive experience in emergency care. They explained concepts clearly and shared real-world examples that made the training relatable and easy to understand.Interactive and Practical ApproachThe course emphasized hands-on practice, allowing participants to perform CPR on mannequins, practice bandaging wounds, and simulate emergency scenarios. This interactive approach ensured that we weren’t just learning theory but also applying it effectively.Comprehensive CurriculumThe training covered a wide range of topics, including recognizing and responding to medical emergencies, performing CPR, using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), treating burns, and handling choking incidents. This breadth of coverage left me feeling well-equipped for various emergency situations.Focus on Confidence BuildingOne of the course’s greatest strengths was its ability to build confidence. The repetitive practice of key techniques and the supportive learning environment helped participants feel prepared to take action in stressful situations.Certification and Lifesaving SkillsUpon completion, I received a certification valid for a specific period, which adds credibility to my knowledge. Beyond the certification, the skills learned are genuinely lifesaving, providing the ability to assist others in critical moments.Overall, the Emergency First Aid and CPR training was an invaluable experience. It not only provided me with essential life skills but also instilled a sense of responsibility toward helping others in need. I highly recommend this training for everyone, regardless of profession or background—it could make all the difference in an emergency.

Erika Liver

Training at location north off Steeles Ave and west of Yonge St. Penny Finnigan ran a fantastic first aid and cpr/AED re-certification course. The day and skills covered was very thorough, well planned, comfortable, and she made me feel like I got even a more solid grasp of the information and skills even though I have done my qualifications a few time In the past. Penny made it fun and relaxing while at the same time, comfortable to discuss and ask any questions, and ensures that we were accurately doing what was needed. I would easily sign up for future courses if Penny was the instructor. She clearly enjoys being an instructor and providing a quality program for those attending.

I have attended the CPR certification training recently and it was excellent. Instructor Mohamed Ezz was knowledgeable and supportive, offering clear demonstrations and hands-on practice. The course covered essential life-saving techniques, including chest compressions, rescue breaths, and AED use. The small class size allowed for personalized attention, and I feel confident in my ability to respond during emergencies.

It was very interesting and educational Tutors Mitra and Anne created the scenes and engaged participants in very live scenarios (dramatized). They were able to captivate the group’s attention and made it very relevant and intriguing. Awesome overall.As a suggestion maybe intervals of showing scenarios on video as well can be a possible option.

I recently attended a CPR, AED Level C, and Standard First Aid class, and it was an excellent experience. The instructor, Scott, was absolutely amazing. He demonstrated incredible expertise, had outstanding skills, and delivered the training in a way that was both highly engaging and enjoyable. His great sense of humor and dynamic teaching style made it easy to stay focused and absorb everything we were learning.Despite the class being eight hours long, the time flew by thanks to how captivating and interactive Scott made it. I truly appreciated his ability to make such an important and potentially overwhelming subject feel approachable and memorable.I highly recommend this training to anyone considering it. It’s not only worth the investment, but also an enjoyable and enriching experience. I walked away with valuable skills and had a great time learning them.
