I had a great experience completing the Standard First Aid and CPR/AED training course. The instructor Dimitrih LaFleur was highly knowledgeable and demonstrated a strong understanding of all concepts, techniques, and proper procedures and protocols. He engaged with the class throughout the session, explained material clearly, and encouraged participation. He was respectful, approachable, and kept the energy light, which made the learning environment comfortable and enjoyable. I feel confident in the skills I learned and would highly recommend this course.
Response from the owner:Hi Nellie! We strive to offer the best training experience possible, and that is why your review is very important to us! We’re so glad we were able to train you in Standard First Aid and CPR/AED, someone who could potentially save a life in the future. Thanks for choosing Coast2Coast to learn life-saving skills. We hope to see you at our Brampton first aid training facility soon for recertification. Stay safe!
