I recently completed my First Aid & CPR‑C training here, and it was a great experience. The instructor (Dimitrih Lafleur ) was very knowledgeable, patient, and explained every step clearly. The hands‑on practice with CPR, AED, and emergency scenarios was very helpful and made me feel confident about responding in real situations. The training centre was well‑organized, clean, and the staff guided me properly through registration and the online portion. Overall, it was a smooth and professional experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to complete their CPR and First Aid certification.

Had a fantastic experience with instructor John Devlin. He was very engaging, hands on, informative, and extremely experienced. He was very passionate about the topics taught, challenged misconceptions about CPR-C and first aid, and related a lot of material to real life scenarios and experiences. Room was a little hot (not John's fault though), otherwise, could not have asked for a better overall experience.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience, Justin! 🙏 We agree that John Devlin is wonderful at bringing Standard First Aid to life with his real-world scenarios in Richmond Hill. We've also noted your comment about the room temperature. Feel free to refer your friends and family - we'd love to help them too! - The Coast2Coast Team
