I had a great experience with Coast2Coast First Aid in Scarborough. The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and explained everything clearly. The hands-on practice was very helpful and made me feel more confident with first aid and CPR skills. I would definitely recommend this course.

Azra was super great. I enjoyed this training so much. Eve though it was 9-5 it felt so much less because of how caring she was. I was able to enjoy training and can’t wait to continue with my certifications.

I had an amazing experience with Andrea T. as my CPR instructor through Coast2Coast! She came with such a great attitude, positive energy, and an awesome sense of humour. She was knowledgeable, professional, patient, and explained everything clearly while making everyone feel comfortable and confident. The session was 8 hours long, but it honestly went by so fast! Andrea made the training fun, engaging, and memorable. Her personality and teaching style made what could have been a long day feel enjoyable and worthwhile. I would highly recommend Andrea to anyone taking a CPR course. She’s absolutely fantastic at what she does! Thank you, Andrea, for such a great experience! β€οΈπŸ‘πŸΌ
