I am very happy with my emergency first aid experience with coast2coast. My intructor Ezz was fantastic. He was super informative, always clearing up any confusion and constantly ensures we understand the concepts he’s teaching us. I enjoyed how hands on, visual, and comprehensive this course was. I highly recommend this to anyone who’s looking to get certified. When recertification comes around, I’ll be sure to come back.

Sam was super knowledgeable, shared his own experiences and had a great sense of humour which made the course more enjoyable and easier to retain information. Definitely recommend calling and requesting Sam if you need to do your BLS.
