Great SFA class instructed by Fatima. Course was well delivered, timely, and informative. I have taken SFA many times and must say the course was delivered with intent. It is nice to see when instructors care about the material delivered as was the case with Coast2coast. Well done Fatima!

I had a great experience taking the First Aid course with my college. Ali instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and explained the material clearly. The course was informative, practical, and easy to follow. I learned important skills for responding to emergencies, including CPR, AED use, choking, bleeding, and other first aid situations. I feel more confident and prepared to help someone in an emergency. I would highly recommend this course to other students. We passed the test!! Thank you for providing such a valuable learning experience!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Svetlana! 🎉 Congratulations on passing the test! We agree, Ali is wonderful at keeping things clear and practical so you feel ready to step up in an emergency. We're so glad you enjoyed your Standard First Aid course in North York.

Coast2Coast provided a professional training in both the online and in-person portions. They were responsive to my inquiries and had a good selection of training times and locations for the in-person training. Our instructor was welcoming and knowledgeable. The equipment we used to simulate things like AED use, CPR, splinting, and other first aid techniques was clean and modern.
