I cannot say enough how much I like taking my level 3 CPR with Coast2Coast. This is my second time and they make it so enjoyable. Maria is a wonderful instructor. I had some medical issues that made my in class a challenge and Maria was so accommodating and understanding.

Shawna McLeanNepean, ON

★★★★★

Great course and loved the attention to details, our instructor Kelly always asked if we understood and was not hesitant to answer questions to clarify. Thanks for sharing your story Kelly, it was clear you have a genuine care for people in general — it was a pleasure to be in your class.
