Thank you for your interest in becoming a CPR Instructor. Upon successful completion, this course will allow the participate to teach Basic Life Support (BLS) and/or Heartsaver classes.
Here’s how it works:
You must have a current BLS/Heartsaver provider course completion card taken within 6 months.
Step 1. Attend the instructor screening session in which you will be given the written BLS provider exam and you must pass with a 92% or greater. You will then be tested (without any assistance) on your practical skills performance for 1 & 2 rescuers for adult, child and infant CPR as well as the use of an AED, pocket mask and bag valve mask device. Choking scenarios will be demonstrated also. If you pass both the written and practical skills testing we then proceed to step #2 in which payment is due at that time. If you did not pass a portion of the testing, the instructor course ends here for you and you forfeit the initial fee of $70.00.
Step 2. Submit payment of $325.00
This step takes (approximately 3-hours) to complete.
