Andrea was our instructor at Coast to Coast. She was nothing short of phenomenal. I’ve been doing CPR for over 10 years and this was by far the best informative and hands on course I’ve ever done. I actually learned more than I ever have. She was so sweet, hilariousl and so knowledgeable. Amazing course and an amazing teacher. Will be doing CPR with coast to coast everytime I need to recert.

Andrea was amazing! She was very informative and entertaining, a pure natural with training. If not for her, this probably would have been a lot more boring and tiresome. I would recommend anyone in the area to attend for her alone.
