So happy with nice experience receiving a Standar First Aid & CPR training by the Red Cross/Coast2Coast at this location! Our instructor Hassan Mohamed so knowledgeable, and practical orientation. He made class memorable and thought provoking. He was constantly putting us in different scenarios making us think on the spot and learn by participating. I really enjoyed the training; it was interesting and practical. Overall, I highly recommend this course and location.
