Amazing experience at the Bloor St. location. Completed the standard first aid and cpr course with Scott and he was simply fantastic. Clear and informative with excellent pacing the class was better than I could have expected. I hope everyone gets the chance to learn from him! Will definitely be coming back here for my recertification.

I had a great time being taught first aid and CPR by Selina Rawe. She went over all the course material thoroughly and at a speed that everyone could follow. Her humour and storytelling make it easy to stay focused and learn while having fun at the same time. 🙂

Coast2Coast's online + in-person was excellent!

They're not kidding when they estimate the online component is 7-8 hours... so I'd recommend spacing it out as 1-2 hours over several days rather than one intense day of online training/quizzing.

The in-person component was taught by Scott F, a former paramedic. He was spectacularly helpful, quick on his feet, and excellent in his emphasis on key details. I scored 100% on the test today, undoubtedly due to Scott's excellent instruction.

I'll easily and happily look to Coast2Coast for my recertification course in 3 years! Thanks Scott F and thank you Coast2Coast for hiring/contracting Scott!

I had an excellent experience with Ezz as my instructor for my course regarding Standard first aid and CPR level C. He had a fun energy and made sure everyone got involved with demonstrations. He had an amazing perspective on first aid and truly believes anyone has the ability to help someone when they need help. I plan to keep going through coast2coast for any first aid training I will need in the future.

I took the First Aid and CPR-C course with Ezz - he is a very well educated and experienced individual who has a clear passion for the work he does here. Highly recommend. If you are a first timer, take your time with the online modules and e-text as it is crucial for your full understanding of what is happening in class. Thank you Ezz!

I cannot recommend this CPR course enough. It was, without a doubt, the best in-person learning experience I’ve had with any instructor. The level of care and expertise brought to the class was unmatched. I walked away not only with a certification but with the genuine confidence to help in an emergency. Heartfelt thanks to the instructor for such an incredible session!
Endless gratitude!

There is a reason I got this score at BLS Training today and it was because it has been the most informative, interactive, real life situational and memorable training I’ve ever experienced in my 9 years of needing BLS training. Walaa was an amazing instructor who not only knew her stuff but was very passionate about what she was teaching which made it more engaging to learn. I left feeling more prepared than ever before. Thanks Walaa! I hope I don’t have to use any of the training but should I need to I feel more confident in what to do all thanks to you!
