My time at the Coast2Coast Mississauga location was nothing but amazing.

I was receiving my Standard First Aid CPR/AED Level C certification. I have had multiple experiences with obtaining and renewing CPR certifications with other companies, including other locations and instructors within Coast2Coast, however, I can confidently say that this was the best experience I have had.

This is all due to the incredible instructor I had, Andrea. She was very thorough in her analysis, her examples resonated perfectly to real life scenarios that we would be facing and her teaching methods really aided in understanding the content and making sure you were experts by the end of the class. She is professional, engaging and really brings the content to life where you get the most out of learning all the fundamentals and facets of the course.

If you want an amazing experience like I have, I highly recommend the Mississauga location and having Andrea as your instructor.

Thank you again Andrea for going over and above and providing your expertise and knowledge. I am so grateful to learn from such an amazing instructor and person! And look forward to hopefully doing my recertification with you in the future. And to Coast2Coast management, you definitely have yourself a great one!

Frequently Asked Questions

There are two different levels of CPR courses: CPR/AED Level A and CPR/AED Level C. Both courses cover the same material. The difference is that CPR/AED Level A only covers how to perform life-saving skills on adults, whereas CPR/AED Level C is more comprehensive and covers CPR/AED for adults, children and infants. Upon completion of either CPR course, you will receive a CPR and AED certification valid for three years. CPR/AED Level A is only available for private training, though.
