I recently completed my First Aid & CPR training at Coast to Coast First Aid & Aquatics - 717 Richmond Street, and I had a great experience!
Before booking, I reached out to ask a question about a possible discount. They were very proactive in responding, answered all my questions clearly, offered me a student discount, and even helped book the course for me. The customer service alone made the process smooth and stress-free.
The instructor was fun, informative, and extremely knowledgeable, which made the course engaging and easy to follow. They explained everything clearly and kept the class interactive, so it never felt boring.
The facility is clean and well-organized. It’s conveniently located on the 3rd floor, and everything was set up and ready to go when we arrived. The training started right on time and even finished a bit early, which I really appreciated.
Overall, it was a professional, efficient, and positive learning environment. I would definitely recommend them for First Aid & CPR training!

I had a great experience attending the Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C class today with instructor AHAMED ELSAID. The way he explains everything is very clear and interesting, which makes the class easy to understand and engaging. He pays close attention to how each of us practices CPR and carefully observes our performance to make sure we are doing everything correctly whether it is bandaging, applying a tourniquet, or proper body positioning. He is very supportive, patient, and encouraging, which creates a comfortable and positive learning environment. He is also a dentist, which adds to his strong healthcare knowledge and confidence while teaching. Overall, it was a very informative and positive experience, and I’m glad I attended his class.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Dreamer_Jsoul! We're so glad you had such a positive and informative experience with instructor AHAMED ELSAID. We agree that he is exceptional at making the Standard First Aid class engaging and clear, and his attention to detail, like observing your CPR practice, truly makes a difference for our students in Brampton. If you know anyone who needs training, send them our way! 💪 - The Coast2Coast Team
