Select a First Aid & CPR Instructor Course in Ottawa

Do you want to make an impact on the lives of people around you or in your community? Enroll for our Canadian Red Cross Instructor Development Course in Ottawa which covers the skills and information needed to teach First Aid & CPR courses. Our instructor training program is intended to serve as a comprehensive guide that covers teaching and facilitating individual and group activities, practice teaching, injury prevention ideas, inclusion, and progressive learning.

The candidate can begin the Fundamentals of Instruction once he or she has completed the course’s requirements. For this section, candidates must finish 8 hours of online training. The concepts learned from the material will be put to use during a 14.5-hour (2-day) in-class component. Once the Fundamentals of Instruction component is completed, they may move on to the Discipline-Specific classroom component which requires in-class training for another 2 days. Participants will be given the chance to practice their teaching abilities by leading peer teaching sessions, which is the last stage in earning an Instructor Certificate.

Candidates will receive an e-certificate that is valid for 3 years after completing the course.

Certified candidates will be eligible to teach Emergency First Aid, Standard First Aid, Marine Basic First Aid, Emergency Child Care First Aid, Standard Child Care First Aid, and CPR courses. Begin your instructor journey with Coast2Coast. Enroll now!

Are you interested in sharing your expertise with new or existing medical responders? Our Canadian Red Cross Professional Responders Instructor course in Ottawa aims to educate candidates on the specialized skills needed to teach First Responder (FR), Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), and advanced first aid courses. As a Professional Responder instructor, it is critical to provide engaging learning experiences that incorporate active participation, instruction in a variety of settings, and organizing unique sessions.

Candidates who fulfill the prerequisites for the course may begin the Fundamentals of Instruction component. Participants must complete an 8-hour online course before attending an in-class session where the candidate will apply the skills and knowledge acquired from the online portion under the guidance of an Instructor Trainer. Upon completion of the first stage, candidates move to a 2-day Discipline-Specific component which prepares them to specifically teach Professional Responder courses. Following this, the teaching experience component allows individuals to instruct in a dynamic learning environment, after which their certificates will be processed.

Certifications are only valid for a three-year time period. We will verify the completion of the desired courses and components that the candidate is willing to teach have been successfully completed, in order to uphold their Teaching Certification. The following are potential instructor courses one may teach: BLS Instructor, First Responder Instructor or Emergency Medical Responder Instructor.

Enhance your career opportunities with our Canadian Red Cross First Aid Instructor Transfer Course in Ottawa! This training grants students the abilities and knowledge required to become instructors of various Red Cross Safety courses such as CPR, Emergency First Aid, Standard First Aid, Child Care First Aid, and Marine Basic First Aid.

With prior experience, candidates may qualify for the Instructor Development Transfer Program under two conditions:

  1. If they are an instructor with another approved First Aid agency

  2. If the individual is a Canadian Red Cross Water Safety Instructor/Instructor Trainer or an educator (elementary or secondary level)

Depending on the conditions the candidate fits in, their training will follow one of these paths:

  1. For those who qualify under the first condition, candidates will apply what they’ve learned from their prior First Aid Instructor training to the Red Cross’s First Aid program. Prior to becoming an instructor with Red Cross, potential candidates will need to complete a skills evaluation and then complete a Fundamentals of Instruction component. When these steps are completed, they may skip the Discipline-Specific component since they already are aware of the skills and knowledge required for First Aid and CPR. The next step to acquiring their credential will be a short, in-class teaching experience.
  2. The candidates who fulfill the second condition must successfully complete a skills evaluation to begin this course pathway. Once they complete the skills evaluation and meet the necessary prerequisites, they can skip the Fundamentals of instruction section because they have prior teaching experience. They will start with the Discipline-Specific classroom component which is 14.5 hours. The participants will complete a teaching experience component after they finish the Discipline-Specific portion, during which they’ll practice peer teaching sessions.

The successful candidates will receive a certificate that is valid for three years. Get yourself registered now!

I just completed the standard first aid training with Hosam and it was a very good experience. He kept my colleagues and I fully engaged for two days and it did not feel like he was just reading off a screen/book. You could tell he knew his stuff thanks to his healthcare background and he graciously answered all our questions even when they were a little out of the scope of the course. I usually only retain mainly the CPR/AED portion of the course but this is the first time that I got a perfect score in the exam and I am also more confident in handling multiple emergency situations. Thanks Hosam and coast to coast!
