    First Aid & CPR/AED Recertification
    Methods and Courses

    Two people practice CPR on a mannequin outdoors. One person performs chest compressions while the other watches closely. Both wear red shirts, and the scene is set on a red carpet in an open space.

    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

    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.

    “I had the pleasure of taking a CPR class with Mira Ainaki, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! Her teaching style was clear, engaging, and highly informative.

    Rajeev was such an amazing instructor. He was very clear about the material and would give us real life scenarios in order for us to better understand the content.

I’ll be sure to book with Rajeev again.

    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.
