Training That Saves Lives — For Everyone

From the sidelines of San Diego’s biggest events to the front lines of emergency care, our team trains hundreds of people every year—parents, babysitters, lifeguards, EMTs, nurses, and paramedics—how to act fast and save lives.

At Coastal Medix, we believe learning should be hands-on, engaging, and taught by instructors who actually do the work in the field. Whether you’re here for CPR and First Aid, Narcan training, an EMT refresher, or advanced certifications like ACLS and PALS, you’ll get more than a card—you’ll leave with the confidence to jump in when it matters most.
