I had a very good experience with Coast2Coast First Aid & Aquatics. The Standard First Aid and CPR training was well organized, informative, and easy to follow. My trainer, Elhamy, was professional, knowledgeable, and explained every procedure clearly with hands-on practice. He made the training engaging and ensured everyone understood the techniques properly. The staff were also helpful throughout the process, from online registration to the in-person training session. I feel much more confident in handling emergency situations after completing the course. I would definitely recommend Coast2Coast to anyone looking for quality First Aid and CPR training in Ontario.

Our instructor, Teresa Kwoon, is very professional. She is very eager to equip all students with the correct knowledge so she explains things very clearly. I really like the way that she gives us practices via scenarios, so that we can feel the atmosphere as if some accident is really happening and we as first-aiders have to deal with communication, observation apart from the care skills. This is a really useful class for me.
