Some of Our Happy Clients




















Testimonials!
My Ahmed is a very good instructor 🙏❤️❤️
Good course for an individual for work environment or home.
It was very beneficial for my career.
He made learning new life skills with lots of fun and interaction.
He shared many stories he’s encountered over the years which made the training more engaging, interesting and fun! I couldn’t have asked for a better training or trainer. Not sure how much John gets compensated, however I believe with the 110% effort he brings to the classroom, he deserves a raise! 🙂 all in all, I’d suggest you schedule your next certification for first aid with them. Thank you John for making my day so much fun and informative!
He always made the class very comfortable for our duties as First Aiders.
Thank you Coast 2Coast and Ali.
I will absolutely recommend this class.
Saika was incredibly professional yet very humble and approachable throughout the two days. She trained us thoroughly, ensuring everyone understood not just the “how,” but also the “why” behind the procedures. Her patience was remarkable; she took the time to answer every question clearly and made the intensive learning experience engaging and comfortable for everyone in the room.
If you have the opportunity to take a course led by Saika, do not hesitate—you will be trained well.
I recently completed my CPR and First Aid certification with Coast to Coast, and I cannot recommend this training highly enough. The entire experience, from registration to certification, was professional and extremely well-organized.
A huge part of this success was our instructor, Tatiana Briceno. Tatiana is truly an exceptional educator. She brought a high level of expertise, passion, and clarity to the material, making complex procedures easy to understand and remember. Her teaching style was engaging—she seamlessly blended theory with hands-on practice, giving everyone the confidence to perform the skills under pressure.
Tatiana created a very supportive and interactive learning environment. She was patient, answered every question thoroughly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable with the practical scenarios. This wasn’t just a mandatory course; it was a genuinely valuable learning experience.
If you are looking for high-quality, practical, and confidence-boosting First Aid and CPR training, choose Coast to Coast, and specifically ask for Tatiana Briceno! Five stars!
