I had an excellent experience taking my Intermediate First Aid & CPR/AED Level C course with Kia (Kianoosh Afzali). He is an outstanding instructor who explains everything clearly, makes the class engaging, and ensures everyone understands both the theory and the practical skills. He was patient, professional, and always willing to answer questions. I left the course feeling much more confident in my first aid and CPR abilities. I highly recommend Kia to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive instructor. Thank you for a great learning experience!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Navid! 🙏 We agree, Kia is an outstanding instructor who does a great job of helping students build confidence in their practical skills. We're glad you had such a positive experience earning your CPR Level C in Newmarket. Feel free to refer your friends and family – we'd love to help them too! – The Coast2Coast Team

I liked the professional consultation on which course to choose and the ase of booking and accessing the portal for Blended Certification. Charlie was an active instructor who added some light moments to our intense full day of training at the centre which is conveniently located near the ION rail and bus service as well as nearby cafes to grab a quick snack and coffee. I would recommend this centre which is affiliated with The Red Cross Canada.
