Group Training for Social, Government and Support Services

Social workers and support services are often the backbones of our communities. We forget not everyone has the same needs and abilities, and social and support workers play a very valuable part in making those community members feel whole and a part of their region. We train social and support workers with CPR/AED and First Aid in exact scenarios that will face in their profession. All our courses at Coast2Coast require participants to practice their skills and from this, we see tremendous confidence in their training, and when they leave our facility, we know they are able to help anyone in need of their services.

Coast2Coast teaches those in the support and service industry how to manage illness and injuries in the first few minutes until professional help arrives, how to administer CPR and use an AED, and how to brief and calm someone in the event of an emergency. Our course content also includes environmental emergencies and basic mental health first aid, which plays an important role in public setting with those who are social workers and work in disability services.

Our instructors hired at Coast2Coast First Aid are redeemable by the Canadian Red Cross, and work together with our curriculum to assess learning through demonstration, presentation and application of all elements of competency in the workplace. Our student’s will be required to complete activities that may include role-plays, oral and written questioning, practical demonstrations and performing scenarios. This improves our students moral in feeling prepared for their careers and any situation where an emergency can occur inside or outside work hours.

All the courses we teach are WSIB approved and meet the highest standards of the Federal Occupational Health and Safety Act.

At Coast2Coast, we offer the following Canadian Red Cross and WSIB approved courses:

• CPR/AED Level A/C

• Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C

• Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C

Our training services are available in public or private settings, whichever is most comfortable and convenient for you. Our instructors can come to your location, where our on-site training will be catered to your facility and co-workers. We also offer public and private courses at all of our training facilities, including several in the GTA, Ottawa, Hamilton, and London.

All the certificates that are earned are WSIB approved and provided by the Canadian Red Cross which ensures it will be accepted across Canada and valid for 3 years.
Coast2Coast is a prominent training centre that is dedicated to hands-on training, compared to other partners who tend to focus more on memorizing the book and not practical skill training. Many of our instructors contribute time to their communities by way of working with ambulance services, fire departments, in the medical field, military, and childcare related services. With these several positions our instructors hold, they value and cherish the information they teach to our students and create a smooth and easy way to absorb the knowledge and practice of CPR and First Aid training.

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.
