Ready to refresh your First Responder (FR) skills? At Coast2Coast, we provide First Responder Recertification training courses throughout Ontario, helping keep our student’s certificates valid.

The course covers a wide range of topics from assessing patients and circulatory emergencies to hemorrhages and soft tissue trauma. In addition to this content, students will also learn how to extricate patients, deliver a baby and so much more.

Damilola Ogunnowo

Great trainer. He was patient, practical and showed granulated knowledge.

Nitin L

I took a course with Rajeev during the long weekend. His professionalism combined with his anecdotes were very helpful in applying the concepts directly to real situations.
Although I am not new to first aid, I still learned a great deal, which I attribute to Rajeev’s teaching methods. He would prompt the class with questions to give everyone a chance to arrive at the answer themselves before offering the answer. This is something I have found very helpful in my past learning, and was glad to have that through the SFA-C course. He was respectful while knowing when to include humor, inspirational, and used demonstrations to keep everyone engaged.
I would highly recommend Coast2Coast and Rajeev’s courses for anyone looking to learn first aid or take another course that he teaches.
I would also recommend anyone reading this to take a first-aid and CPR course as it is invaluable – emergencies don’t come with warnings.

Response from the owner:Hey Nitin! Your review and recommendation is greatly appreciated. We’re glad you took action and completed a Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C training course! It’s amazing to hear that you learned so much despite taking the course in the past. Our goal is to provide the best training possible and we’re thrilled that you enjoyed your course with Rajeev. Thank you for choosing Coast2Coast! We certainly hope to see you again in the near future for recertification. Stay safe!

Dash Sakiri

The course was incredibly informative and far less intimidating than it seems. There’s so much to learn and so many useful scenarios for all of the content learned. Ezz was a fantastic teacher and did an incredible job teaching and showing all students how to properly perform all physical tasks. Would highly recommend to others.
