Excellent training centre.

Scott is the best Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C Trainer! Scott is hands down the best first aid and CPR/AED level C trainer you could ask for! His session was incredibly hands-on with clear demonstrations that made burning both effective and engaging. He created welcoming and supportive environment where everyone felt comfortable participating asking questions and practising the techniques. What really stood out is Scott's energy, professionalism, and approachability which made the entire training experience, enjoyable, and confidence boosting I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get certified

I recently took the CPR and Standard First Aid course at Coast2Coast in Mississauga with Dr. Adel, and I had a great experience. Dr. Adel is an excellent instructor—knowledgeable, clear, and very engaging. He made the material easy to understand and took the time to answer everyone’s questions thoroughly. His real-life examples helped put everything into context, which made the learning process much more practical and memorable. I feel confident in my skills thanks to his teaching. Highly recommend this course, especially if you get Dr. Adel as your instructor!
