Some of Our Happy Clients

3 Common Incidents

Bleeding

Severe bleeding decreases the blood volume and has to be addressed immediately.

What to do?

Apply pressure to the wound with a gloved hand.
Bandage the wound over a sterile dressing.
If the bleeding persists, apply a tourniquet.
Call 911.

Cardiac Arrest

Surviving sudden cardiac arrest is nearly impossible unless someone performs CPR or uses an AED combined with CPR.

What to do?

Call 911 as soon as possible.
Use an AED immediately and alternate it with 2-minute rounds of CPR.
If an AED is not available. Perform CPR at a 100 compressions per minute rate.

Choking

In most cases, choking leads to a coughing fit, but if there’s no one around to help and the airway is completely blocked, it can lead to death.

What to do?

If someone is choking, try to dislodge the object by combining any two of the following
three options: back blows, abdominal thrusts, and chest thrusts.
Always stand behind the person and deliver up to 5 firm back blows, abdominal thrusts or chest thrusts.

Did you know...?

For each minute that CPR and use of an AED are delayed,
the person’s chance of survival is reduced by about 10%

Why You Should Invest in an AED

An automated external defibrillator is an easy-to-use medical device that can help you analyze someone’s heart rhythm. It notifies you if you must deliver an electrical shock to help restore the heartbeat.

All emergency rescuers and police carry AEDs to use in emergencies. They are always available in most public places, including malls, sports arenas, gyms, and even on airplanes.

Cardiac arrests can also take place within office settings. Keep your employees safe; get an AED for your office!

I went through the course with Maria and it was a super fun time. Everything was easily understandable and she explained everything very well. Definitely choose Maria as your instructor as she is super easy going and explains everything perfectly.

Sneha Acharya

Dr. Adel was great, very energetic and the class went really smoothly as well.

Edinson Guzman

The course was very informative leaving me feeling very confident in being able to administer first aid and cpr with an aed. Scott F was a great instructor. He was very upbeat which made it easy to listen to and kept it interesting. Thanks again Scott! I would recommend Coast2Coast to everyone.

Taelon Gray

Scott's First Responder Recert absolutely exceeded my expectations. I am a relatively new Athletic Therapist who was looking for my first recert and didn't know what to expect from a recert that wasn't led by an athletic therapist. Scott was able to make the class engaging, was able to challenge each of us individually based on our strengths and weakness, helped me learn to really "own" the leadership role in responding, and brought along a strong sense of humour that kept me engaged. Scott was able to provide extra advice from having worked in the field and was able to help me refine specific techniques such as D.I.Y Tourniquets. Scott has a passion for helping to produce competent responders and it shows through his work, preparation, and adaptability. Highly Recommend!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Taelon! We're so glad Scott's First Responder recertification exceeded your expectations, especially as a new Athletic Therapist looking to refine techniques like D.I.Y Tourniquets in North York. We agree, Scott's passion for helping to produce competent responders truly shines through his engaging instruction and humour! 💪 If you know anyone who needs training, send them our way! – The Coast2Coast Team

I've had 2 courses at this location – one with Ali and one with Kia – with both courses being very in-depth and informative, while still being very fun and engaging over several hours thanks to the instructors being both knowledgeable and entertaining with their presentation styles. Highly recommended.

FYI – Each course ends with an online test, so make sure you have a phone and remember the information you used to sign up for the course to avoid being locked out.

John B

I had an easy experience completing my CPR C & Emergency First Aid certification! Penny was very friendly and knowledgeable!

Olatundun Adeniji

EZZ 55678 was very detailed and patient.

Matt C

Ezz was great! He was a top notch instructor despite having hip pain. Made the course enjoyable, engaging, and left us very good nuggets of information that I will always remember. My only feedback for this program is not with the instructor, but with the company. I wanted to cancel a class that I had booked with three weeks notice and was told I would be charged $35. I think that policy makes sense with a last minute cancelation but not within a three week notice.
Something to consider to ensure customer satisfaction.

Tiffany Coll

Great course with Mohamed Ezz, very knowledgeable and informative.

Samantha W

Ezz was a great teacher and very hands on and i would definitely recommend this course and this teacher again!

Response from the owner:Hi Samantha! Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're absolutely thrilled that you had such a great training course with Ezz as your instructor. We aim to provide the best learning experience possible and hope you left feeling confident in your life-saving skills!
