I recently completed a First Aid training course, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The course was well-structured, practical, and very informative, covering all the essential topics with real-life scenarios that made the learning engaging and easy to understand. A special appreciation goes to the instructor- Scott F, who was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive throughout the training. They explained concepts clearly, encouraged questions, and made sure everyone felt confident performing the techniques. Their hands-on approach and real-world examples truly made a difference in helping us retain the information.

Incredibly fun, the instructor John was extremely professional and engaging. The place is a bit small and doesn’t have any desks (unlike some other centres) so the seating was a bit uncomfortable. However, the course is very beneficial

I appreciate the CPR/AED courses that C2C provides. It’s my second time taking the course with them at the North York location. My instructor Ali S. was very knowledgeable about First Aid & CPR topics and even shared a few relevant real-life scenarios to supplement the course. His delivery kept everyone engaged and he made sure to interact with everyone in class. So, thank you for today’s workshop, Ali!

I went to C2C for my Standard First Aid and CPR AED Level C training. The facility was very clean and well organized. They had all the equipments to demonstrate to learn and try hands on training on it. Walaa was very knowledgeable and experienced to explain us the course in much detail and best possible way. Will recommend others to join C2C for their First AID and CPR training.
