Haidar Naanoua

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.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Hayden! 🎉 We're so glad to hear you've had two fantastic experiences with us in Newmarket.

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.
