    First Aid & CPR Recertification

    Recertification courses are designed to refresh your memory and life-saving skills. The All-In-Class format is a great way to re-learn the skills you were once taught by a Canadian Red Cross instructor. This format allows students to complete their full training course in a classroom setting.

    Attend your training anywhere from four to eight hours depending on the course level you have registered for. After completing and passing an exam, students will receive a temporary certificate which is valid for 30 days. Within 5-10 business days, students will receive a PDF copy of their certificate via email.
    With the All-In-Class format, students are able to complete their training in one go with an experienced Canadian Red Cross instructor. Refresh your memory with theory and hands-on practice. This format is available for public training.

    Recertification
    Eligibility

    In order to be eligible for a Recertification course at Coast2Coast, you must have a valid (not expired) certificate from the Canadian Red Cross. If you are registering for a CPR Recertification course, your current certificate is not required to be from the Canadian Red Cross, but must be from a WSIB-approved or OHS-approved provider. Conditions vary based on the province you are completing your training in as well as the course level you wish to register for.

    Currently, we provide First Aid & CPR training in Ontario and Alberta.

    First Aid & CPR Recertification

    In Ontario and Alberta, you may recertify CPR/AED Level C more than once. If you currently hold a CPR/AED Level C certificate from a Recertification course, you are welcome to take another Recertification course as many times as you want, provided that your current certificate is not expired.

    Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C cannot be recertified in Ontario. You must complete the full training course instead. However, Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C can be recertified in Alberta.

    Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C can be recertified in both Ontario and Alberta, but in Ontario, it can only be recertified once. This means you will need to alternate between a full course and a Recertification course.

    Professional Responder Recertification

    You may complete a Recertification course each time you need to renew your First Responder or Emergency Medical Responder certification as long as your current certificate is not expired.

    Basic Life Support

    You may also like:

    Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP) training has been designed for healthcare professionals. This course covers high-intensity CPR as a team in settings such as a hospital.

    By registering for both First Aid and Basic Life Support, students are eligible for a bundle discount deal!

    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!

I highly recommend Ms. Anne Klausner at Richmond Hill location to anyone looking to learn first aid and CPR.

    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.

    What Courses can
    be Recertified?

    We offer Recertification courses for many different training levels including CPR/AED Level C, Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C, Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C, First Responder and Emergency Medical Responder.

    If you would like to recertify any other certificates (CPR/AED Level A or Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C, for example), then you may need to register for a full training course. Some courses are not available for Recertification depending on the province.

    • CPR/AED Level A: No Recertification course is available for CPR/AED Level A. You must complete the full training.
    • CPR/AED Level C: Recertification is available for CPR/AED Level C and can be recertified multiple times in a row.
    • Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C: Recertification is only available to our Alberta residents and can be recertified multiple times in a row. Ontario does not allow Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C Recertification.
    • Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C: Recertification is available for Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C. In Alberta, the course may be recertified multiple times in a row, but in Ontario, you must alternate between a full course and a Recertification course.
    • First Responder: Recertification is available for First Responder and can be recertified multiple times in a row.
    • Emergency Medical Responder: Recertification is available for Emergency Medical Responder and can be recertified multiple times in a row.

    If your current First Aid and CPR/AED certificate from the Canadian Red Cross is about to expire, then you should enroll in a WSIB approved or OHS-approved Recertification course. With recertification training, students will primarily focus on practicing hands-on skills such as CPR, bandaging and more.

    Refresh your memory by practicing the skills you were once taught and learn new life-saving techniques from a certified Canadian Red Cross instructor! Recertification training will occur over a shorter duration of time compared to the full training course you originally completed.
