AHA CPR Instructor Course

The AHA CPR Instructor Course certifies the participant upon completion to teach BLS Provider courses.  This class teaches new instructors about planning and course preparation, how to direct a CPR and First Aid class, practical skills testing, conducting written exams, and keeping your instructor status current.  An interested student should be well versed in performing CPR and hold a current BLS Provider card.

The week of the course a welcome email with pre course materials will be emailed to you; please register with a personal email. A BLS instructor online portion needs to be completed prior to class, the link will be sent in the pre course material email. This is an extra cost through the AHA you will need to pay, and please provide a copy of the certificate when you come to class.

The other portion of the course is student teaching on a subsequent date.  As a student instructor, you will attend one of our scheduled courses to observe and assist. This will give you the opportunity to be monitored and receive feedback on classroom management.  This must be completed within six months of taking the instructor course.  An off-site student teaching evaluation will accrue the instructor’s travel and time costs.
