I had a great experience with the First Aid and CPR course offered by Coast2Coast (Edmonton). The instructor, Amandeep Kaur, was knowledgeable, professional, and patient, and explained everything clearly. The hands-on practice made the training easy to understand and helped me feel more confident in handling emergency situations. The class was well-organized, engaging, and informative. I really appreciated Amandeep’s supportive attitude and willingness to answer questions. I highly recommend Amandeep Kaur to anyone looking to take First Aid and CPR training!

Dimitrih Lafleur was hands down the BEST instructor I’ve ever had!! He made the whole experience so fun and actually enjoyable. He joked around, gave us so many real-life scenarios, and made sure everyone understood everything and felt confident with their skills. What I loved most was that he made it feel like we were all just a group of people learning together rather than a room full of strangers. Nobody felt stupid or embarrassed for not knowing something, and he never singled anyone out or made anyone feel less than. He made everyone feel comfortable, included, and supported the entire time. You can tell he genuinely cares about teaching and wants everyone to succeed. Honestly, I wish every instructor was like him!! If you ever get the chance to take a course with Dimitrih, DO IT!! I would 1000% recommend him to anyone!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, araya! 🎉 We agree, Dimitrih Lafleur is amazing at using real-life scenarios to make Standard First Aid engaging and comfortable for everyone. We're so glad you had such a great training experience in Brampton. If you know anyone who needs training, send them our way! – The Coast2Coast Team

This was an outstanding CPR/AED course from start to finish! Ashraf was an incredible instructor – patient, supportive, and clearly passionate about making sure every single person didn't just pass, but truly understood the material. You could tell his goal was to prepare us to actually save a life one day, even if it's our own. He kept the class engaged, made the material easy to follow, and got everyone involved with hands-on practice. Great course, even better instructor. Highly recommend!
