I had a lot of fun learning this course. Selina, my instructor was amazing, made this a great experience.
In addition, the online courses really did help however it would be better if there were video presentations that would sum up the information as there was way too much to read. Otherwise great experience would definitely recommend Selina as an instructor and coast2coast to get your SFA cirtification.

Manasdeep Kaur
I just completed my CPR Level C training with Lydia, and honestly, she was fantastic! She made everything super easy to understand and created a really comfortable learning environment. Her explanations were clear, engaging, and practical, and she made sure everyone felt confident before moving on.

I especially appreciated how patient and encouraging she was—whether it was practicing compressions or using the AED, she took the time to guide us properly. Now, I feel so much more prepared to handle emergencies, and that’s all thanks to Lydia’s great teaching!
Ifyou’re looking for a CPR instructor who truly cares and makes learning enjoyable, I highly recommend her. Thanks again, Lydia!
This keeps it genuine, appreciative, and relatable while still professional. Let me know if you’d like any tweaks!

This is my second time training here, and I am very satisfied. The instructor explained everything clearly, making the key concepts easy to remember.
