How to Become a First Aid Training Instructor

Having the skills available to render medical help during an emergency situation is impressive but having the ability to train individuals so that they too can know what to do is phenomenal. When you are an instructor you’ll be able to touch the lives of so many people by training individuals on the techniques of first-aid.
This is a possible career opportunity for you to explore or you can offer your services as an instructor as a volunteer. Either way, you’ll have the chance to experience the unique satisfaction of teaching others important life-saving skills that they’ll carry with them for the rest of their lives.
First-Aid Instructor Certification
There are different courses available for people that want to bring their first aid skills up to a new level by teaching others.

  1. The Instructor Development Programs will give you the skills and knowledge you’ll need to facilitate core courses while at the same time learning the best strategies for teaching the material.
  2. The First-Aid Instructor Transfer Course is available to individuals that are currently certified with a different recognized agency and would like to transfer to a Red Cross certification.
  3. Red Cross first-aid instructors must be recertified every 3 years. The First-Aid Instructor Recertification Course provides the necessary requirements for recertification.

Training instructors can make an incredible difference in their communities by passing on life- saving knowledge to others. As an instructor you will have a wider range of influence and may indirectly be saving a number of lives that you don’t even know about.
