Fatima was an amazing instructor, it was honestly the most comprehensive first aid class I have ever sat through. She took the time to break things down and gave us the opportunity to use an extensive amount of training equipment not typically offered through other companies.

I had a wonderful experience with my First Aid and CPR training at Coast2Coast Training Centre. The instructor was knowledgeable, professional, patient, and explained everything clearly and in an easy-to-understand way. The hands-on CPR and AED practice was excellent and gave me much more confidence in handling emergency situations. I also received my Canadian Red Cross First Aid & CPR certificate after completing the course. The training centre was clean, organized, and welcoming. I highly recommend Coast2Coast Training Centre to anyone looking for professional First Aid and CPR training with Canadian Red Cross certification. Thank you for the great experience! ❤️👏

I had a great experience for my training from WALAA. The content can feel dry, but she did an amazing job making it engaging and possible to have a few laughs. I would absolutely recommend coast2coast and I hope you have the pleasure of having Walaa as your instructor as well.
