I did the blended First Aid and CPR training (half online, half in person) and I was surprised at how interesting and engaging the lessons were! My teacher, Andrea, made the 9-5 training so fun and enjoyable, balancing humour with serious training and skills.

Having experienced several trainings for first aid over many years, I’d have to say Coast2Coast has been the most engaging and memorable class I’ve taken (Shout out to Andrea). Coast2Coast hits several kinds of learning styles as they teach you, making this class practical for all, whether it be for work, school, or to learn the skills and be prepared. Finishing this course, Coast2Coast helped me to gain both knowledge and confidence need I ever be in a first aid/CPR situation. I definitely will be back to do more trainings with them in the future!
