I had Ali as my instructor. He knows how to structure the basic principals of first aid and when to use cpr into an intuitive 8 hour practical lesson. I understood my role and responsibilities as a certified first aid responder. Maintaining someone's life, before the ambulance and paramedics arrive, is an initiative I always wished to take on. I'm glad to be certified and reliable in any case around family, friends, work and strangers.

Coast2Coast is the best.
Response from the owner:Thank you, jam water! We agree, Ali is fantastic at structuring the basic principles of first aid into an intuitive practical lesson.
