What is Marine First Aid?

Ricardo Leon

Exceptional Training with an Outstanding Instructor!

I recently completed my CPR and First Aid certification with Coast to Coast, and I cannot recommend this training highly enough. The entire experience, from registration to certification, was professional and extremely well-organized.

A huge part of this success was our instructor, Tatiana Briceno. Tatiana is truly an exceptional educator. She brought a high level of expertise, passion, and clarity to the material, making complex procedures easy to understand and remember. Her teaching style was engaging—she seamlessly blended theory with hands-on practice, giving everyone the confidence to perform the skills under pressure.

Tatiana created a very supportive and interactive learning environment. She was patient, answered every question thoroughly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable with the practical scenarios. This wasn't just a mandatory course; it was a genuinely valuable learning experience.

If you are looking for high-quality, practical, and confidence-boosting First Aid and CPR training, choose Coast to Coast, and specifically ask for Tatiana Briceno! Five stars!
