As a senior Nurse, I found this session of BLS with Coast2Coast First Aid/CPR-Napean to be very informative and practical. Our instructor Ashraf conducted the class with professionalism and took the time to learn everyone's name. He also presented information with precision accuracy. Our practical exercises were conducive to real life scenarios in and out of facilities and I for one feel more confident in my BLS abilities. Well done! 100% recommendation!

Extremely convenient way to become certified. Lots of dates available. Nice balance of hands on practice without feeling too “put on the spot” like in some trainings I’ve done. The hybrid option is great for flexibility and also is a nice study tool for long term retention.
