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!

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

Is BLS and HCP the same?

When an emergency strikes, you may find yourself all of a sudden in a Disaster Film situation and the difference between a happy ending and a tragedy may just depend on your knowledge of CPR, When a person stops breathing as a result of drowning, suffocation, physicals trauma (and the hundred other things that can cause this condition), the ambulance will not make it there in mere minutes, which is often all the time you have to revive your loved one.

Is BLS different than CPR?

What is CPR and what does it do?
When is it needed?
How is CPR performed?
Do you know what to do when someone needs CPR?

The highest percentage of cardiac arrest cases occur at home and in the workplace, which is no surprise, since people spend most of their time in those two places. No matter how close the nearest hospital is, the ambulance might not arrive in time, & you will need to have someone around who is trained in CPR.

What is BLS training?

BLS training is a 4-hour course that provides healthcare professionals in-depth training on how to perform CPR in a fast-paced environment such as a hospital. Students will learn a variety of skills ranging from high-performance CPR, using an AED, how to work as a team and more.

Who should take this course?

At Coast2Coast, we offer three levels of First Aid training:

Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C
Marine Basic First Aid & CPR/AED Level C

First Aid training is often a requirement for careers or school programs. Depending on your field, you may need to complete a specific course. Confirm with your employer or counsellor regarding this.

What are the 4 elements of Basic Life Support?

Mobile swimming is a great way to learn how to swim in the comfort of your home! If you own a pool or have a community centre with open pool hours, we can send one of our experienced swim instructors to you. Choose a time and date that works best with your schedule! Simply send us an inquiry to get started.
