Scott is a really good trainer. I have been to many First aid/CPR courses in the past with other training companies, but this one was different.

Ilona

I recently completed the Standard First Aid + CPR C course with instructor Rajeev K, and I can’t recommend it enough. Rajeev is incredibly knowledgeable and brought a wealth of real-life experience and examples to the training, which made the content not only more engaging but also relevant. He made a full 9–5 day feel light and enjoyable with his positive attitude, great sense of humour, and clear passion for teaching.

The room we trained in was spacious and comfortable, which helped us stay focused throughout the day. We used excellent practice materials, everything we needed to get hands-on and properly learn the techniques.

Rajeev kept the whole class engaged and created an open, welcoming environment where everyone felt comfortable asking questions and participating. He was incredibly thorough during the practical portions and made sure each of us had the chance to get the techniques right. His ability to connect with the class and explain things clearly stood out.

Both my friend and I left the course feeling confident in our ability to handle real-life situations requiring first aid and CPR, and that’s all thanks to Rajeev’s outstanding instruction & the Coast2Coast course set up.

The online component we completed before the in person training was great and comprehensive, and you have access to the full guide to follow along and keep for reference. If you’re looking for a course that’s informative & engaging, this is the one to take.

Thank you Rajeev & Coast2Coast!

Response from the owner:Ilona, thanks for leaving your fantastic review! We're very happy that you and your friend had an enjoyable course with us at our Kitchener first aid and CPR training facility. Anyone can be a hero and now you're ready to save a life since you have completed a safety training course with us! We're so glad that Rajeev made your training welcoming and comfortable and that you learned so many valuable life-saving skills! Hope to see you again for recertification. Stay safe!

ItsAabha

I had the pleasure of taking a First Aid & CPR course with Coast2Coast, and Instructor Ali truly stood out. His teaching skills are exceptional—he explained complex concepts in a clear, easy-to-understand way and adapted his approach to suit different learning styles in the group. Ali was not only knowledgeable, but also incredibly organized and professional. He created a learning environment that was both thorough and supportive, helping us build real confidence in our abilities. It’s rare to find an instructor so skilled and dedicated. Highly recommend taking a course with him!

Response from the owner:Hi Aabha! Your review and recommendation are greatly appreciated. We’re glad you took action and completed a safety course with us at our North York first aid and CPR training facility! You never know when an emergency will occur, whether that’s at home, at work or while you’re out shopping. Thank you for choosing Coast2Coast! We certainly hope to see you again in 3 years for recertification. Stay safe!

Ashmita Tamang

I recently completed a First Aid & CPR course with Coast2Coast First Aid, and I have to say, Instructor Ali was outstanding. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the entire session. Ali took the time to make sure everyone understood the material, answered all of our questions clearly, and created a comfortable learning environment. His real-world examples made the training both practical and engaging. I left the course feeling confident and well-prepared, thanks to his excellent instruction. Highly recommend both the course and Instructor Ali!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the differences between the different types of CPR courses?

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.

Do I need to take First Aid classes in Ottawa in addition to CPR?

This depends on your job and/or school requirements. All of our First Aid classes in Ottawa include CPR/AED Level C training. We highly recommend taking Standard First Aid and CPR/AED Level C as this is the highest level of first aid training and the most widely accepted course by employers.

Do you offer any online CPR classes in Ottawa?

We offer CPR classes in Ottawa in an online, blended format and an online-only format. To earn an official WSIB-approved Canadian Red Cross certificate, you must enroll in the online blended format (half online, half in class).
We offer online-only courses, but they do not provide an official certificate. If you want an official CPR certification in Ottawa, you must upgrade your training and complete an in-class component to practice your hands-on skills. You can upgrade the online-only course to the online blended course within three months of completing the online-only training.

Can I take a private CPR class in Ottawa?

We do offer private training for groups of 8+. Our private classes have many benefits, like significant savings on your payments and simple billing. We offer group training for Healthcare Providers, Industry Trades, Schools, Security Guards, Government, Social & Support Services Workers, and so much more!
