Ready to embark on your Professional Responder journey? At Coast2Coast First Aid & Aquatics, we strive to provide the best training experience possible. Our goal is to empower our students with life-saving skills required for their careers, school program or just general knowledge. Our facilities across Canada include high-quality First Aid and CPR training equipment and experienced Canadian Red Cross instructors. Do you need help registering for a course? Contact us today!

What To Expect During FR/EMR Training

Students will practice hands-on skills with the best training equipment around! This training is heavily scenario-based. Students will be required to think on the spot in order to provide the best care for their “patient.” Each student will respond to multiple scenarios under the guidance of an experienced Canadian Red Cross instructor.

Not only will you learn how to perform techniques, you will also learn how to communicate and work as a team. It is important to understand that working together can make the difference between life and death.

During scenario training, students will have the opportunity to act as a primary responder, secondary responder, victim and bystander. Primary responders must give orders to their secondary responder. Each responder must work together to care for the victim. They must also communicate with the bystander and victim to find out more information regarding the incident.

Julia Di Pardo

Had a really good experience taking First Aid/CPR. This is the second time I’ve done it through Coast2Coast. The instructor, Ali, was very knowledge and passionate. He made sure all his students were built to succeed. Because of him, I feel more confident in my abilities if I’m ever in a situation to help someone in need.

Response from the owner:Julia, thanks for leaving your fantastic review! We're very happy that you had an enjoyable course at our Richmond Hill first aid training facility. Anyone can be a hero, and now you're ready to save a life since you have completed a safety training course with us! Hope to see you again for recertification. Stay safe!
