I've been with Coast2Coast for atleast 3 years now and I've had Walaa twice so far as my instructor and she is always so awesome! The layout of the course was well organized and she was very knowledgeable. She helps us understand why we're doing what we're doing with Standard First Aid and CPR vs just teaching us the tools only to pass the test.

Response from the owner:Hi Laura! We would like to thank you on behalf of our team for trusting us with your training needs. We’re happy to see that you enjoyed your recent training course with us. Emergencies can happen at any time and we’re glad you took the steps to become more prepared. We hope you learned a lot and left feeling confident in your life-saving skills. See you soon for recertification! Stay safe.

I took a First Aid course with Coast2Coast today, and honestly it was a really great experience—mostly because of our instructor, Prabh.

She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and never rushed through anything. If someone had a question, she took the time to answer it properly, which made the whole class feel a lot more comfortable. You can tell she really knows her stuff, but also cares about making sure everyone actually learns.

I also liked how hands-on and interactive the class was. It didn’t feel boring or overly serious—she kept things engaging the whole time.

Overall, I learned a lot and feel much more confident now. I’d definitely recommend taking a course with Prabh if you get the chance!

Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality BLS training.

A big thank you to our instructor, Edward. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and engaging throughout the session. He explained everything clearly, made the training interactive, and ensured everyone felt confident practicing the skills.
I walked away with not only valuable life-saving knowledge, but also the confidence to actually apply it in real situations. It was a very hands-on and practical learning experience, and I genuinely learned a lot of new skills. Most recommended!!

Instructor was very professional and taught us the course very well. I like the course and would recommend anyone to go for it. Don’t go for the extras that they ask you when you pay for cpr as it’s not mandatory. If you want to learn how to save a life for a family member in emergencies, go for it.
