Testimonials!
It was sooooo soooo soooo Good class
Everything was so good and organized specially
The instructor Mr. Rajeev Khanna is very Good hard working , kind and knowledgeable teacher
He didn’t make us feel bore
From the beginning of the training to the end everything was very well organized.
Thank You🙏🏻🤗
Would recommend Coast2Coast as they were able to reschedule me in a timely manner when my class was originally cancelled.
I’ve been to both the Newmarket and Brampton locations and the instructors were very helpful in guidance and making sure you felt confident.
Good coach Monsieur Joseph.
Although I am not new to first aid, I still learned a great deal, which I attribute to Rajeev’s teaching methods. He would prompt the class with questions to give everyone a chance to arrive at the answer themselves before offering the answer. This is something I have found very helpful in my past learning, and was glad to have that through the SFA-C course. He was respectful while knowing when to include humor, inspirational, and used demonstrations to keep everyone engaged.
I would highly recommend Coast2Coast and Rajeev’s courses for anyone looking to learn first aid or take another course that he teaches.
I would also recommend anyone reading this to take a first-aid and CPR course as it is invaluable – emergencies don’t come with warnings.
Enjoyed the class despite the length
