RASAQ BISOYE
I recently had the opportunity to train with Coast2Coast, and I was thoroughly impressed with the experience! The trainer Dimitrih Lafleur was an absolute gem - a pleasant and well-thought-out gentleman with a warm and engaging presence. His gentle yet confident approach made me feel at ease, even when tackling challenging topics as a first timer.

What really stood out was his ability to break down complex concepts into easily digestible bits, making it easy for me to grasp and apply the material. I was amazed at how much I learned, and I'm thrilled to say that I got the best out of the training!

Even though I had no prior knowledge in some areas, he was able to present the material in a way that was fresh and engaging, and I appreciated his patience and willingness to answer all my questions. His bit of puffy and gesture attitude really helped to keep me engaged and motivated throughout the training. Smiling in delight, he asked while I was demonstrating CPR, if I needed coffee or a donut, trying to gauge if I would be distracted. I fell for it deliberately to get my anxiety out

Overall, I highly recommend Coast2Coast and their trainer to anyone looking for a supportive and effective first aid/CPR learning experience. Thank you for a fantastic training experience.

Susan Nguyen
I really enjoyed my experience receiving training for First Aid / CPR . Our trainer, John Devlin was very informative, clear in his execution, sharing his vast knowledge and personal experience to enhance the training material.
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!

Ricardo Leon
Exceptional Training with an Outstanding Instructor!

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!
Response from the owner:Hi Ricardo! We strive to offer the best experience possible, and that is why your review is very important to us!

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.
