Andrea was our instructor at Coast to Coast. She was nothing short of phenomenal. I’ve been doing CPR for over 10 years and this was by far the best informative and hands on course I’ve ever done. I actually learned more than I ever have. She was so sweet, hilariousl and so knowledgeable. Amazing course and an amazing teacher. Will be doing CPR with coast to coast everytime I need to recert.

Kia from Coast2Coast was an excellent instructor for our Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C training. He explained everything in a clear, detailed, and easy-to-understand way, making even the more complex parts of the course simple to follow. He was very patient and supportive throughout the sessions, always making sure everyone was comfortable and confident before moving on. The hands-on demonstrations were well guided, and he gave helpful feedback that made us improve our skills. We really enjoyed the whole training experience. Kia created a positive and engaging learning environment, and we left the course feeling well-prepared and confident in our first aid and CPR skills.
