Manasdeep Kaur (May)
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!
Response from the owner:Hey Manasdeep! Your review is greatly appreciated. We’re glad you took action and completed a safety training course! You never know when an emergency will occur whether that’s at home, at work or while you’re out shopping. Thank you for choosing Coast2Coast! We certainly hope to see you again in the near future for recertification. Stay safe!

Inna Kyrychenko
The training with Rajeev was beyond incredible! As a healthcare professional who has taken CPR courses many, many times, I can confidently say that I have never had everything explained so thoroughly and so beautifully, he is truly talented in making even the most complicated concepts easy to understand. The pace was excellent, Rajeev filled the course with top notch information, and had a great sense of humour to top it all off. I think I’ve maybe written one other Google review in my lifetime, and I would give a million stars to this one if I could! Thank you!

Bernie Li
The training at Coast2Coast First Aid/CPR - Kitchener was awesome. The instructor was super friendly and explained things in a really simple way. We learned how to do CPR, use an AED, and handle choking, burns, and cuts. I liked how we got to practice a lot on the manikins—it made me feel more confident. The class was small, so we got personal attention, and the instructor gave helpful tips from real-life situations. The training room was clean and had all the equipment we needed. I feel ready to help in an emergency now. I’d totally recommend this course!
Response from the owner:Thanks for your amazing review, Bernie! We hope you had a great training experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of CPR courses are available in Waterloo?

We offer CPR/AED Level A, CPR/AED Level C, and Basic Life Support (BLS-HCP) in Waterloo. If you’re interested in more comprehensive training, we recommend registering for a first aid course. All of our first aid training courses include CPR. These courses include Emergency First Aid, Standard First Aid and Marine Basic First Aid.

Do I need any prior experience to take a CPR course?

No, you do not need prior CPR or first aid training to take a CPR course. Our Canadian Red Cross instructors will teach you all the skills you need to know!

Are there any online CPR training options available?

You can take the online blended format (half online, half in-class) to earn an official WSIB-approved Canadian Red Cross certificate valid for three years.
We do offer online-only courses with comprehensive course content containing first aid information for various injuries like joint injuries, spinal injuries, and chest injuries, but they will not provide you with an official WSIB-approved certificate. You can upgrade the online-only course to the online blended course within three months of completing it. You must complete an in-class component and practice hands-on skills if you want an official certification.

You Learn CPR, We donate . . .

Helping Those in Need is the Responsibility of Those Who Can. Coast2Coast is now pleased to announce that a portion of all the proceeds will be donated to the Sick Kids Foundation.
