Our Recertification courses have been designed to refresh your First Aid and CPR/AED knowledge and hands-on skills.

I cannot say enough how much I like taking my level 3 CPR with Coast2Coast. This is my second time and they make it so enjoyable. Maria is a wonderful instructor. I had some medical issues that made my in class a challenge and Maria was extremely accommodating and patient with my issues. I was very inpatient and frustrated over the phone with staff and they were so great, kind and patient in helping me. She was also very kind to someone who could only speak French, taking the time to make sure they could learn with us. I highly recommend Coast2Coast and Maria.

Dimitrih was a great instructor! I took his first aid class through my work and it didnt feel like it was 8 hours long. He kept the mood/feeling light, asked questions to the group as well as let us ask him questions whenever we needed to. He was very precise in his descriptions and outlined all necessary learning material effectively. Allowed us to take brakes when needed, and made sure we were all on schedule, outlining all areas needed to feel confident in the learning material!
