Honestly, this was one of the best training sessions I’ve ever attended! Training can sometimes feel long and boring, but Dimitrih Lafleur made this one genuinely fun and enjoyable. He kept things light with his humour, shared real-life examples, and made the whole experience feel more like a group learning together than just sitting through a course. What really stood out was how comfortable he made everyone feel. There was no pressure or embarrassment about asking questions or not knowing something. He made sure everyone understood the material and felt confident in what they were learning. Dimitrih has a great way of teaching that keeps you engaged from start to finish. You actually enjoy being there, and that makes a huge difference. I wish more training sessions were like this one! I would absolutely recommend Dimitrih to anyone looking for a great learning experience.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Kulwant! 🎉 We agree, Dimitrih Lafleur is fantastic at keeping Standard First Aid engaging with his humor and real-life examples. It is wonderful to hear how comfortable he made everyone feel during your class in Brampton. We'd love to help your friends and family get certified too! – The Coast2Coast Team

Took the Intermediate First Aid & CPR/AED Level C training at Mississauga Facility. Fatima was the instructor. Online portion of the course was easy to access and good review for the in class portion. The in class portion had lots of hands on with very relevant and practical scenarios. Our instructor was prepared, knowledgeable and very approachable. Great overall experience.
