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.

I completed the Standard First Aid and CPR/AED Level C training, which was both practical and informative. I learned how to assess emergency situations, perform CPR for adults, children, and infants, and properly use an AED. The hands-on practice helped me build confidence, especially in chest compressions and responding to choking incidents. Overall, the training equipped me with essential life-saving skills and improved my ability to respond effectively in emergencies.
