The BLS class today was an exceptional learning experience, largely thanks to the instructor’s Rajeev’s skill and professionalism. From the moment the class began, it was evident that he was knowledgeable, organized, and passionate about teaching life-saving techniques. The instructor demonstrated each skill with clarity, breaking down complex procedures into manageable steps that were easy to understand and practice. They ensured that every participant felt comfortable asking questions and provided constructive feedback during hands-on practice. Their calm demeanor and encouraging attitude made the environment stress-free and engaging, even for those who were nervous at first. What stood out most was their ability to relate real-life scenarios to the techniques being taught, reinforcing the importance of these skills and building confidence in their application. Their emphasis on teamwork and communication during simulations was particularly helpful. By the end of the class, I felt confident in my ability to perform CPR, use an AED, and provide effective first aid. I highly recommend this instructor to anyone seeking a comprehensive and well-taught BLS course.

I recently had the pleasure of completing the Standard First Aid & CPR Level C training with Coast2Coast, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Our instructor, Rasha, brought an incredible energy to the course, combining expertise with a teaching style that was both dynamic and easy to follow.Rasha’s approach to training was hands-on and interactive, which kept everyone engaged and made the material truly memorable. She incorporated real-world scenarios into the sessions, helping us better understand how to apply our skills in practical situations. Her ability to answer questions thoroughly and encourage active participation created an inclusive and supportive learning atmosphere.The course itself was very well-organized, and the facilities were top-notch, with all the necessary tools and materials provided.For anyone considering first aid and CPR certification, I can’t recommend Coast2Coast enough—especially with an instructor like Rasha, who truly goes above and beyond to ensure her students succeed!
