The Workplace/Community Instructor class teaches individuals how to present American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED courses to the public.  Upon passing the course, instructor candidates will be able to present Adult CPR, Child CPR, Infant CPR, Adult and Child AED, and First Aid skills to the community or workplace. 

Candidates MUST attend all three days to become instructors.   They MUST also have VALID CPR and First Aid certificates with the new material (since ECC 2005) in order to take the class.  If they do not have one of each, they must enroll in a community class held prior to the instructor class.  Each class is from 9AM to 5PM here at the chapter office.

Want to Be an Instructor for Professional Rescuers?

CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer courses are also available.  This more advanced level class covers training required for lifeguards, nursing students, and basic training for healthcare providers.  To teach this course, American Red Cross uses a different instructor course to teach instructor candidates.  Most of the details are the same as the Lay Instructor course requirements.  However, candidates must have the CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer certification to register for the class instead of the separate certifications for the lay-responder.  First Aid knowledge is not a requirement for this training.  Like the lay responder instructor course above, the cost is also $200.00.  The cost does not include the standard CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer course, which must be done before enrolling in the instructor course. 

Course dates are scheduled by student interest.  Please call 615-790-5785 for future dates.
