Testimonial

A trial will convince you.
Samuel Bernard Balogun
I really appreciate her and recommend her to anyone who wants to partake of the trainings
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.
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. I was able to refine my techniques during hands-on practice and learned a lot. I’m even considering enrolling my daughter so she can be prepared for any unexpected situations in the future. Highly recommend!
